Not to confuse the issue but there are two types of 4 bolt blocks. First and most common is where all 4 main cap bolts are straight into the block. A splayed 4 bolt has the outer bolts installed at an angle pointing outward while the inboard cap bolts are still straight. If you find one of these at a swap meet or garage sale GET IT

the splayed 4bolts are typicaly after market. Theres some machinists that can take a 2bolt block and make it a splayed 4bolt. And if yopur looking for a 4bolt small block, look at trucks. Almost all Chevy truck motors are 4bolt mains.
