LB9 a 2 or 4 Bolt Main?

Me and my dad were having an argument as to whether the LB9 (305 TPI) engine had a 2 bolt main or a 4 bolt...

I just assumed it had a 4, but he said it was probably a 2...

Any input?? I searched this site and the internet and couldnt find anything.

The 305 came with 4 bolt between 77-79 I think. (heavy duty trucks)

The rest of the 305 is 2 bolt main..

I checked 2 other pages they didnt list the 77-79 305 block casting numbers/info...

I searched google thou, and it said, there was no factory made 305 4 bolt.
But there was "aftermarket" made 305 with 4 bolt main..


sorry for any inconvenience my first post have made.

But if someone finds a more relyible source please post.
