............BTW, I just checked an LA 360 block, and the 2nd timing cover hole up from the bottom on the driver's side is 2-3/4" from the pan rail at the bottom. Is this the one? That hole is threaded through the front surface of the block, and then into the lower edge of the water jacket in the front of cylinder one, and if the bolt was too long, it would punch through the lower edge of the cylinder #1 bore...........
