454 Big block guys???????
« on: June 21, 2007, 02:28:26 pm »
I have a 454 with engine code TRH dated h-10-73 casting number ending in 289 so it is a late 73 454 but any idea if it would be a 2 bolt or 4 bolt block without ripping in out of the car it is in now???

Is the block code 3999289, if so it is a 2 bolt main.  These were 72-78 Power power passenger car/truck blocks.
