The Bert LMZ Transmission Kit for 2-Piece Rear Main Seal is a complete 2-speed racing transmission package engineered for 1955–1985 Chevrolet Small Block V8 engines with a 2-piece rear main seal. Built for IMCA Stock Cars, Modifieds, Dirt Late Models, Hobby Stocks, and other circle track racing classes, this lightweight transmission kit is designed to maximize horsepower transfer, improve throttle response, and deliver dependable race-winning performance.
