There was no factory 350 in 1986 on the F-Body platform. They were introduced in 1987.

I believe only the truck engines had 4-bolt mains in the 80's and early 90's. As far as I know the cars all had 2 bolt mains, unfortunately.

IROC was only till 1990 so that would be your limit, 87-90, there were only 4 bolt mains factory in HD trucks 3/4 tons and corvettes, hope this info helps, a 2 bolt will hold 500 HP, ive done it.

yeah you guys are right, they are 2 bolt mains. i asked a buddy of mines brother who built one up and he said the same thing, not to be afraid of the 2bolt because they still can handle a considerable amount of power

yes, they'll be 2 bolt mains, and can hold 500 crank hp. a good thing about them is you can convert them to splayed 4 bolt and be stronger than a factory 4 bolt main block
