RE:cross bolt provisions?

By Mike McQuesten - 12/04/2001 4:37:24 PM; IP 63.50.125.50

Sorry Joshua, the provisions for cross bolting you're seeing are not that uncommon. I have two C4AE blocks, one is a 352, the other is a 390. Both are standard run-o-the-mill early '60s FE passenger car engines. The 390 from a Galaxie, the 352-2V, from a Mercury. Both of these blocks are cast with the internal bosses that appear to be for cross bolting. Like the block I believe you have, they are not HP blocks.
I have seen blocks like yours without any casting number identification also. Not common but not too rare circa '62 like you're saying yours may be. I have no idea why they were cast this way.

This thread, so far...
