I have this configuration on the 383 going in the vette. It is a one peice rear main seal block with a two peice crankshaft. I forget who made the adaptor.

Ok so the L98...1 peice rear seal or 2 peice rear seal? I have been wondering this since the day i started looking at stroker kits because that seems to be the big question.

Isn't it that some 86s are 1 and some 2???
If aluminum heads and roller cam then 1pc???
Earlier 86s with iron heads 2pc???
Convertables all 1pc???
I could be wrong but alot of things seem to have been mixed up in the 86s.

Yep, but obviously to do it right with your 85 block, you need a 2-piece. (Assuming it is stock.)
However, depending on your plans it might be worth 250$ to pick up a new 1pc block set-up for a roller cam. The cost of a retro-fit conversion is much more expensive than the cost of a used 350 core.
