Well they are, but I've been told that like in the LT4s, the way GM did the outer holes, they did it too close to water jackets, but a machine shop would do it on an angle, more into the meat of the block.

And no catmaigne, the guy is selling it for $300.

And I know you can't splay a 4 bolt to any more, but I mean is it possible to have a shop fill the outer holes and make it into a 2 bolt, then remachine back to a 4 bolt, but more into the block?
