I don't know where the quote came from, but I don't agree. I know there were some cases of block failure with SBChevs, and I don't think anyone here is trying to put down an engine design or trying to make this something personal, but I don't think the splayed bolts were designed to keep the block together. BUT, I could be wrong. There were four bolt SBC's long before there were splayed outers. The splayed outer bolt is used in other engines where there was never a "splitting" problem. It's just a better method.

The quote came from World Products, who casts aluminum GM blocks. If anyone should know what they're talking about, I would think it was them.
The FE is a state of mind and I think I'm probably crazy
