You trust Autozone to know ANYTHING
Newb, short rope, go swing!
400 SBC 2 bolt were stronger, but 350 2 bolt are quite strong also. They can handle 500 hp on the bottle with ease.

Re: need some old school muscle help
This has to be one of the weakest threads I've seen in a while. If you were tearing the motor down anyway, why didn't you just measure the bore X stroke to find out what size it was? :P
As for the main cap conversion, I know Miloden sells the 2-4 bolt conversion caps, and they are stronger than the standard 4 bolt when completed properly.
I've broken 3 sbc cranks before...harmonics is a bitch @ 7500rpm :P

Go get your hands dirty and work on the damn car throw go fast parts at it till it blows up because a block costs about 200 at the most, and the crank is the only thing that is possibly worth a damn and you wont break that. I've given away 4 bolt virgin 350 blocks because I needed the room
