NotesChevy 4-bolt main engine, flat top pistons, and driver's side dipstick. A small base circle camshaft is recommended with this short block. This engine requires the use of an external balance design damper. A balance plate is included with this engine, if it’s retained then an internal balance design flexplate or flywheel is required. To use an external balance design flexplate or flywheel the balance plate must be removed before installation.
