        no, i broke it hitting the engine internals somehow. Happened almost immediately so ill have to be careful putting it back in.

            • Can't tell from the pics but did that end up being a 4-bolt main block?

                no fbody lt1s are factory 4 bolts mains. you can see in the pic below the timing set the one main cap just on the end... its a two bolt.

                lookin good, we are about at the same spot....

                  Was just curious But i see what you mean in the pic

                    not true, they were not SUPPOSED to, but GM being GM did in fact use some Corvette blocks when the f-body ones ran short on supply. As stated some slipped through in 94 and 95.

                    I was not lucky enough to get the 4-bolt main, but i cant say I expected to. There are no production numbers on them, but they dont seem to be very common. I would say 10% at the absolute MOST. probably somewhere in the 2-5 range though.
