I do believe there were NO 351w production blocks with 4bolts....about 91% sure on that. As far as roller/flat tappet i think 87 and newer are roller and 86 and older flat tappet.....about 50% sure on that one. someone like r barn or MJR could probably say more for certain. there is always wikipedia

The '69-'70 Boss 302, '71 Boss 351, '72-'73 Clevelands were 4 bolt mains.
There were no production 302 or 351W's that had 4 bolt mains.
I am 100% positive on this.

I know that 2 bolt main Cleveland blocks have enough area in the main webs to drill for 4 bolt mains, but I am uncertain if 302 or even 351W blocks have enough material.

A suitable alternative would be a main stud kit and possibly a stud girdle if needed.
