    The only factory 4 bolt main blocks were 1969 & 1970 Boss 302's.

    I didn't even consider those. They weren't a production engine anyway.

    And if you have a legit TP it's just about a blank check, name your price...

    If you're building a high RPM/HP engine, the four bolts mains won't help much on a factory block...
