Can see why this small block bottom end can support such high revs stock.
All 5 main bearings are 4 bolt with a full deep block skirt
My old 1970 LT 1 only had 4 bolts on the middle three bearings & a shallow block skirt hence the splayed outer bolts on the 3 center caps.

If I add the main bearing caps are also cross bolted you have a big part of the reason they can rev like a euro. Six bolts holding the bottom end together instead of 2 or 4.

Starting dash & console. Waiting parts to finish clutch install, everything that needs to come out is out so its a clean stop point. Need to photograph & mark the wires (PIA). The gauge wires will get replaced with the new gauges. The new sensors are all two wire replacing the one wire leads on the current ones.
Am going to move a few things, horn button blinker switch, based on experience & will clean up the rats nest with better routing of the wires. The new gauge harness is much neater than the original. Will also use this panel when its stripped as a template for cutting the new holes in its replacement.
