I have an early standard bore 2 bolt never been rebuilt, cleaned , magged, sonic tested, thinnest spot is .190. I'll throw in a set of 4 bolt caps if you want to convert it!. I'll take $500!...
I need one. If you have one, please let me know how much, where and the condition. Thanks again!

Justin, FYI,
Any BBC can be set up with aftermarket 4-bolt caps...and I've heard they can be stronger than OEM 4-bolt stuff.

I know, but I am doing this on a budget. AND, I am trying to do 100% of the machine work. I already have a 2 bolt block, I am just a little funny about spinning it 7500 rpms with two bolts....
I suppose some people run big horsepower with 2 bolts, so what the heck. Two bolts it is......
cum on dude
budgit does not equel Sanger,,,,,
dang
I'm running a 2 bolt and I spin mine 7500 but I use studs on the mains!. For maximum strenght for blown applications, you start with a 2 bolt and use aftermarket steel splayed caps along with steel front and rear caps!..
Yeah, stud your mains...

This is my first motor I have ever built where I did all the machine work myself so I am being conservative until I am a "proven" machinst. I will put in a super duper one next year. Besides, a few little birdies have told me that there are lots of ends you can cut to save money. A lot of super expensive parts are not necessary unless you have more money than brains....
Not to beat a dead horse here, but if it were my money I'd look into a 2-bolt block and upgrade to splayed caps just as it was mentioned above. Main-studs are another good insurance policey from what I've researched.
~Ty ....gotta get back to my new motor project as well
Have a four bolt Gen V Mercruiser short block that needs a crack in the water jacket welded. $400.00
