Old Race 340 Teardown

Look at these pictures of a 4 bolt X block. Not splayed

318 small block ‘X’ block. Give me the dirty little details.


That does mean you can’t put a splayed cap on an X block.

Those caps were made by Milodon and maybe others for the TA blocks. They knew it was a small market if they used a straight outer bolt so they splayed the bolts and used 3/8 fasteners so they could be installed on any block.
