Can anyone tell me if this thrust bearing fit this block. I've searched everywhere to try and find out if you can tell the difference between 95-97 97-99 7 bolts. Please if anyone has input of anykind, it'll be much appreciated. FYI the machined area where the bearing sits is just over 1 mm.

That is the revised 7 bolt with the three piece thrust bearing, you need to pick up a set for a 98-99. When you go to buy it it should also say that it is the three piece set

Man am I happy to here that

For a second I thought I had the older 7 bolt block. So by looking at the pictures ive posted can you confirm I do have the right bearing set up for this block. Thanks cruciatus111

Scaredy cats.. I dont know the difference in the blocks or bearings, myself. However I am still running stock 7 bolt and the car is very close to 500 awhp.. Dont be scared of the early 7 bolts. The likely hood of actually having to worry about it is very slim. Run it!

I coat those thrust bearings if it were me.
