327 (four bolt main) aren't they all, I saw someone post lol
full manual TH350 2500 stall
4.56 mini spool in a Ford 9 inch
MT 28x9.50 tires
was told ran 11.70
my actual knowledge is its not a four bolt main
no idea what size motor it is, specs out as 350 block/heads
Posi not working, its a peg legger and had really bad wheel hop
14.0 at 98 mph in 1/4 were the times I got, was really disappointing...

The 4 bolt blocks came out about when they switched to large journals and by then 350's replaced the 327's.

Gotta see how these AFR heads do.
I'll make sure to post some numbers.

Yeah thats a bummer when it doesn't come close to what you were expecting. What carb,intake,gears,exhaust,timing curve?

I think he's joking about the fact that that every used car/motor you buy is a "4 bolt main". Also it's always "forged" parts but they never seem to have receipts for them. (of course you can check the block specs with the casting number..a little harder to tell what guts are in a motor from the outside)
