I didn't see any post about pulling the pan and actually seeing the 4 bolts, so
that isn't neccesarily so. I have 6 Cleveland blocks, 4 have that casting # and only 1 is 4 bolt. The rest are only 2 bolts, that is a pretty standard casting number of that year block. If you pull the pan and there are 4 bolts, good, but not better...at least structurally. It IS worth more if you are wanting to sell it, but I haven't broke a block since I started running them in the early 70s. My Deuce just took a thrashing at R&G a couple moonths ago and didn't even miss a beat, it's only a 2 bolt.
