I don't believe Dart offers a one piece rear main seal block. I don't know if you could use a newer rear main cap and machine the block for the one piece seal retainer or not (if you have thousands wrapped up in your Callies crank).? Your rods will work, as long as you have the block decked (not less than 9.00") for whatever the compression height of your custom pistons will be. You are right, though. 1,000 HP is a bit much for any stock small block.
