Default Any difference in 350 truck block?

I need to replace a 350 block in a 73 NOM. I have a reasonable one avaialble but the original source is a pickup. I only need the block. I don't care about the internals at all. Is there any difference? I know that the stamp pad will show the original use but i don't much care about that either.

more likely a 4 bolt in a truck. It'll fit.

As Long as it is a 4 bolt main. It is a good Block. Not that saying a 2 bolt main block is not good. For what you are going to do to it for a Street Motor. A 2 bolt will hold up. I prefer a 4 bolt for the extra strength.

Doesn't really matter where it came from. A 350 is a 350, 4 bolt preferable over 2 bolt but sometimes beggars can't be picky.
