Default Is the LS1 really a 6 bolt or a glorified 4 bolt???

I have seen some pics but I'm not sure what I am looking at since I am use to looking at older SBC.

Can someone post a few pics and explain what I am looking at, like where are the other 2 bolts...

Thanks,

Bill

Its a six-bolt main. Four are in the typical location adjacent to the bearings, and since we have a longer skirt block there are also bolts going in from the side of the motor.

Since it's an alum block, its about as strong as a normal 2-bolt iron block with arp bolts. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
