I did the same thing with my Z28. I used a 350 2 bolt block to build my forged 383. I used all ARP studs for it though. Most of the 4 bolt main talk is over hyped. If your not gonna be spinning this motor to 7000 all the time then there is no need to get a4 bolt. Just make sure you use ARP studs or bolts. If your mind is set on the 4 bolt then try looking in the boneyards for 350's out of the 90 trucks. I think these where 4 bolt roller motors......I think
