Well i ask about that . The yard i got the block from doesn't have anymore 4 bolts and they only exchange . I would have to drop back to a 2 bolt main . I made 484 with this top end on a 355 . I don't expect alot more HP , but more torque and the assembly should handle 800 HP . So close to 500 on motor and 250 more nitrous , i need a 4 bolt . My machinist ( a good friend and a high school buddy ) has assured me i will never know it is there and i have run his sleeves before with no problems . Oh , and there is no S-10 build section so i put it here . Hope you don't mind as my primary purpose is to drag race it .

Visual update for saturday .Sorry for the crappy pick of the block it was in the bore machine . Pics of the lightweight forged crank and JE pro series pistons .
