you cannot make a 2bolt a 4bolt. the stock block doesn't have enough material in the main webbing for it to actually benefit from adding more bolts to it. it will actually weaken the block.

RE: Will it HOLD UP?
ben i think i will but i gotta save the money first. my biggest concern is splitting the block when its done. i just plain and simply don't have the money for an aftermarket block.
i am with out a doubt sure i am going to have him do the machine work on it. you couldn't pay me to go to murder and electric again.

jasper, the clevor will be tough no doubt. the cleve heads are lightyears ahead of windsor and noone can tell u different. now what they are saying is that for eas and expense windsor heads are a great bet. however, if u want the best sbf heads, cleve's ,especially chi, are the best there is. the intakes are also made by chi for clevors so u can basically get everything u need except pistons from chi. but that website i showed u, www.fordstrokers.comhas the bottom end for u. And since ur block will already be drilled for it u should not have a huge problem.

and dont forget with those "spyder" intake elbows, you can even run EFI on the CHI intake if you wanted - but carb'd is best for high HP applications.
i wouldnt worry about the 4 bolt main, like it was said before its not the main cap that will break its the block AROUND the cap. so i can see why drilling holes for a 4 bolt cap would just further weaken it. that really DOES makes ALOT of sense.
see..... (and this was a C8 block, which is supposed to be alot stronger than the later ones)
