Were there any 4 bolt mains other than 350s?
Just curious. Were small block Chevys ever released from the factory in our trucks, in any displacement other than 350 C.I.D.?

There was a 4 bolt main 400 cubic inch and I think the 302 in 68 was a 4 bolt

I don't know what kind of internals it had, but I would bet that it had forged pistons and crankshaft.

Re: Were there any 4 bolt mains other than 350s?
The 67-68 MO302's were 2 bolt Z/28 only. The 69 DZ302 is 4 bolt large journal Z/28 only. Some 327's were 4 bolt, but late 67-68 large journal. Some 70-72 400's are 4 bolt. Then 350's could be either depending the application.
To be honest GM did alot a weird things back in the late 60 early 70's. The strikes in 68,69,70 brought about a lot of parts swapping. For one, Tonawanda engine plant was a big block plant, yet in 69-70 they built some small blocks.

302/327/350 blocks (4" bore, 2.3" or 2.45" mains), and 400 blocks (4.126", 2.65" mains). In 1968 the main bearing saddles were increased in size from 2.3" to 2.45".

There are no records from the GM Historical center showing what went into the C-10's other than the 2 bolt 327's and the 4 bolt 400's but those records might be incomplete or inaccurate. |

Re: Were there any 4 bolt mains other than 350s?
Great Info! Thank you. I'd only wonderded as I bought a "350" used.
I didn't know if they did 307's in 4 bolt. I pulled the pan on this one to look at the bearings change the oil pump coupler, secure the pick up and seal some leaks. I do know it's 4 bolt but didn't measure the bore or stroke. Thank you again.

Re: Were there any 4 bolt mains other than 350s?
There are definitely 4-bolt 327s. The '68 truck engine I have is an 010 casting,which is a 4-bolt large journal. IIRC,it's the same block as the '68 Camaro SS350 as well as the Z/28 302. High nickle and steel crank,too!
