all we can really tell you- without the stamping code off the front- is that its a 69-79 block and is 4 bolt if its a truck block(stamping code wil tell you that much)

the pad to look for and clean off is just above the timing cover


------------------
-71/C-10(thx teeitup and crews!)350 4+4/CH465(thx 71Chev, GMCPaul, and CPNE)longfleet bed(thnx meathead95)!still building it-

3970010 is for sure a 4 " bore....as far as 4 bolt main,chevy did some different stuff through the 70s. A 3/4 ton ,or a 4x4 should be a 4 bolt,but a 1/2 ton is a story of its own..........69 longhorn

My book show's it as 67-76 350 or a 302 came in 2 or 4 bolt mains.
