Clearance specs for a 350 casting # 3970010 2 bolt?

[msg]

I am looking for a resource for the 350 I have that gives main and rod bearing clearance specs needed for a rebuild. I have an engine that I pulled and stored a few years and with the help of a friend we were going to use some plati gauges and see where things are with this engine as we go through it.

Anyone have a resource for specs on this engine?

So far Ive found this

Lots of common specs there but nothing specific.

The standard spec for a stock 350 Chev is .0025". I'm happy with anything between .002 and .003. My last one in my truck was at .003 and I debated if it was too much but my oil pressure is always too high for my liking. I guess my engine must have a high performance oil pump but I can't tell by looking at them.

That casting number is the most common 4" bore block that GM ever made.

Depending on your use, the clearance could change. High performance and racing engines usually use clearances a little loose to compensate for higher oil volume and pressures. For a stock rebuild I shoot for between .002 and .003, trying to get right around .0025.
