They are hard to find too, but there is hope since Comp Cams makes a conversion kit. I'm sure they are not the only ones to do that either.

Really? Learn something new every day I guess.

I find it funny that the late model truck guys are looking for classic blocks and us classics guys are looking for late model blocks.

well you know the early blocks are a bit stronger and if you ever want to convert to 4 bolt mains you HAVE to use an earlier block because the late model blocks don't have enough meat for the conversion.
