The main caps on this block are cross bolted! This makes an extremely strong and rigid block - cross bolting is typically only seen on extreme competition engines!

I bought some yesterday for 16.88, which I felt was reasonable for a dealer. I did not know about the cross bolting thing, learn
Something new daily, thanks a mint!

Did that VHT gold for a guy here last year.
We did the block, oil pan, and heads though.
It was awesome.

The cross bolts essentially make it a 4 bolt main engine. Moar=Good in that case.
