that isn't neccesarily so. I have 6 Cleveland blocks, 4 have that casting # and only 1 is 4 bolt. The rest are only 2 bolts, that is a pretty standard casting number of that year block. If you pull the pan and there are 4 bolts, good, but not better...at least structurally. It IS worth more if you are wanting to sell it, but I haven't broke a block since I started running them in the early 70s. My Deuce just took a thrashing at R&G a couple moonths ago and didn't even miss a beat, it's only a 2 bolt.

I've got SO much work to do on this car it's going to be a while until I get to the engine and actually see what's in it. Right now it's on a stand in the garage covered and out of the way - I haven't taken the pan off yet. I don't think I'm even going to get the car running this year. We'll see. I'd rather take my time and do it right than rush and mess it up. I'm doing everything alone, so that takes more time as well. Thanks for all the input, guys, on this and so many other issues. I'll let you know what I find when I open the engine up.
