This is precisely why I don't much care to do work on the earlier engines...
The only way to replace the rope-seal is to remove the crankshaft. If you want to go this route, it's worth replacing the main bearings...and while you're at it....you get the idea.
Sorry, there are no shortcuts. Alternatively, if you do wish to do this amount of work, I'd find a later engine, start rebuilding it and swap it with yours....just like we did with Hugh Furr's early '73.
