350 ID help
Does anyone know what numbers would indicate a 4 bolt block? I have a 350 lined up from a 79 camaro and the owner doesn't know what type of 350 it is. It wasn't in a Z28 either. It is original to the car and was an automatic. He's not too close and hasn't removed the pan to look. I'm guessing it's a 2 bolter unless someone can direct me where to look on the block?
Thanks
Gary

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure it will be a 2 bolter. I remember a friend bought a new Berlinetta that year with a 2:51? rear gear. It was a cow off the line but felt like an overdrive on the highway! I told him to buy the Z28 that year but that cost another $800 then!
