Both the above numbers are for BB's, not SB's.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Got my last Victor JV551 rope seal from Autozone. They are cut-to-fit so they will work in both BB and SB.

You will end up trimming them to fit anyway. I prefer rope over a lip seal unless it's a car they plan to race. Rope doesn't leak. They don't seap. Ever.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

BEST Gasket has the best rope seal , the Fel pro is made of too hard a material and doesn't last, I'm pretty sure original rope seal had asbestos in them and that is gone from being used now. http://www.bestgasket.com/

Recently spent 2 days removing top half of a leaky rope seal in Y block in our 55 T Bird. Installed a neoprene seal, no more leak 'yet' anyway. Was faced with pulling engine until devising a rather homegrown Bubba solution that got it out. Sneaky Pete tool to remove proved worthless.
I do not believe that is recommended to install a rope seal unless crankshaft is removed from engine. These Sneaky Pete solutions to pull a new top half in with crank installed at prove problematic at best. They can stretch the new seal and oft times you will find that seal is not properly seated in block and will leak.
Advice as suggested earlier, try a neoprene seal first. I would suggest if someone is to try this, to first trim the rope where the tool will grab so it's a fresh cut and not frayed, pull the seal in from the driver's side up over the crank, and turn the crank in the same direction as and at the same time as you pull it in. This is reverse of the way the crank normally rotates. The "sneaky Pete" has been successfully used for decades.
