No. Depends on what the engine was built for. The 0010 block was the most universally used block ever made by GM.

My 010 block came from a 73 chevy pick-up, no steel or forged anything, except for a lot of carbon.

Some are even 2 bolt mains. Later ones have less iron in them and not suitable for 400+HP builds.
