Re: 72 Ambulance engine decoding help

Also don't forget that the 4-bolt main thing is not a neccesity for a street performer engine...............just some old urban legend bragging riual with the 4 bolt factory engines.
I have read and geard that many machinists have tore down the 4 bolts only to find on occasion that the second set of bolts on the main caps had worked loose. I personaly think studs on a 2 bolt is actualy better than a stock 4 bolt set up.
