1955 to 1985 are the same, 1986 started the one piece rear main seal.

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.

I doubt its a 396 due to price. I would put my money on a 350

Don't forget that there are 2 different thickness seals for the front of the oil pan. 8)

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 given away 4 bolt virgin 350 blocks because I needed the room
I've broken 3 sbc cranks before...harmonics is a bitch @ 7500rpm :P
