Depends on the year... but probably
:bad-words: Rope seal.
:bad-words: Crank out.
Have fun.. Not hard but a big job for a $5 seal.

I thought later BB chevs had rubber or you may be able to replace rope with a rubber one. If it is rubber you can do it with sump off, rear main off and slide old out with new sliding in. I have only read this somewhere, I haven't done it for real.
