Just bought a 78 1/2 2wheel burb with the factory tow package. Is the 350 a 4 bolt main?

what's the block number?


there's really no way to be 100% right without actually looking.

i was afraid of that, bought the burb to use then have decided to part it out. It runs great , 66,000 original miles, wanted to use that as a selling point!

thanks,
Steve

Check the block just behind the the water pump. look for a small pipe plug located in the block. This is fastest was to check, without running numbers or removing any parts. This has always worked for me in the past...
