I asked them (there are about 10 of these guys) and they all say it's the angle of the bolts not the size. It may be due to cylinder pressures from power adders they say that (I have run 2 bolt mains at 500hp with no problems) it may also be they are refering to the newer blocks (which are all weaker than the old blocks due to the actual mackup of the iron) I don't know I just know I trust what these guys are saying due to their proven skills

2 or 4
Didn't mean to get this 2 bolt 4 bolt thing started. Thats
why I said I'd pass on it.
As for the 400sb, have quite a bit of experience in the (past)
with these blocks. I ran the 2 and 4 bolt and were destroked for my dirt short track cars. We payed special
attention to the web areas. Both were studded with good
machine work done. (Never) lost a bottom end on either.
These motors spun 74 to 7800 as 372&378 c.i. which back
then was pretty tite.
My problem with them was between the cylinder deck
every 6th or 7th race would blow out the top of the wall.
We were running stainless o-rings and copper head gaskets. Nickel alloy rod weld and good for another couple
months.
Just pointing out if done rite will take alot more abuse
than alot of people think.
I run a Trk Hyd roller 4 bolt in my Iroc putting out over
500hp and would not be afraid to have put in a 2 bolt if
set up correctly.

I was kinda suprised at the asking price for the car, cuz Adric always said he didn't wanna buy a pricey 3rd gen
That car is sick, but if it's not what you REALLY want, then hold off and get what you want. I was helping my buddy Cam look for either a '91/'92 L98 Z28 or a '91/'92 G92 305/5spd, and I came up with like 10 cars on autotrader. Most of the rest were RS's.....
