I`m building a 383 stroker for a friend in Ohio and the bad dog I`m working on it with is freshoning up a blown 427 bb chubby in his shop which apparently went high 6`s in the 1/4 mile in a rail and what do I see? Stock main bolts...........no joke and it`s going back together the same way. Just thaught I`d share and there was just a BIT of cap walk. Now I feel totally confident running my 1/2" arp main studs that were in three different motors for over 15 years.

will his Non 4 bolt main destroy his 12 bolt posi ?


chevy......

after seeing the way this thread was titled, i was sure you were going to say you finally found a mirror.

so was that a two or 4 bolt block? before companies like ARP came along, all we had was stock bolts. we used to do things back then that we'd never dream of doing now.

All them Chevy guys know that any GM part is indestructable so why spend more money on better parts GM keeps a lot of Americans working

thats nothin,i saw a migit racin a pig.i put 50 bucks on the migit.

A rat motor bottom end with stock bolts may be sturdier than a big Mopar with the good stuff( Aftermarket cap, studs,girdle). I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. Pretty beefy and with those short, thick cylinders they are bound to be pretty rigid. I love my big block Mopars, just wish the stock blocks were as stout as the big Chevies.

Put on your asbestos underwear!
