Who has a 91 to 96 HO motor that they can look at the main bearing cap bolts for me?
I tore down this stroker motor over a year ago and I've got 2 main bearing cap bolts that have a threaded area above the bolt head. Can't remember where they go and all my other stuff is Renix which didn't use these two bolts.

They're all that way on '96+, that's where the stiffener girdle goes. Pre '96 IIRC none have a threaded protrusion, nothing attaches there. Sounds like you got a mix-n-match motor.

I've got some spares without the threads. I'll just use them.
I thought of doing the main bearing bolt/studs and girdle but then you have to screw around and shim the girdle to clear the stroker crank. On top of that, the girdle is already close to the oil pan.
