If it's not cracked and is still stock bore, About $ 125.00
It can be either a 2 or 4 bolt
On a motor 4- bolt or 2-bolt refers to how many bolts are on the main cap what holds the crack. when it comes down to it if your not putting a supercharger on the motor or making to a performers engine, you don't really need a 4-bolt main An 89 would probably have the dipstick below #6. It would most likely be a 4 bolt main, but not guaranteed.
For what I read tonight, as I am doing my Big Block, the 4 bolt main is 110LBS
It was used in 1986 and up, some of them are 2- bolt mains and 4-bolt mains. They were NOTHING special. It does have a 1-piece rear main seal.
can be both ,i have a 350 010 2bolt main
When you take the oil pan off of the motor you will see the crank shaft. The caps that hold the crank shaft in the block are held down with bolts. 2 bolts each is a 2 bold main. 4 bolts is a 4 bolt main
"small block" typically distinguishes between a 2 bolt and 4 bolt main. (Small block= 2 bolt main. Big/large block=4 bolt main) "long block" typically distinguishes between a rebuilt engine that has heads, rockers, rocker covers, oil pump, pan... in other words, complete, versus just block, crank, cam and pistons (short block).
It is a small block Chevy 350 engine with 6 bolt main caps.
It sure is ....i just purchased a donor block for my 98 silverado and sure enough it was a 4 bolt main block
There isn't a way to identify a 4 bolt main block without looking inside the oil pan.
None. The four bolt main block is thought to be more rigid at higher loads.
Just get a 4 bolt main. Don't fool with a "conversion".I don't know what labor is worth in your area, but there's several hours of work to line bore and hone a block, plus the cost of new main caps. Probably at least $400-$500.
