Block girdles, yay or nay

Dan the man said
Get a set of splayed 4 bolt main caps and your done. It would be awesome if you could get a 4 bolt cap for the front main bearing cap.

Only if you cut off the splayed cap section. Std OEM blocks are thin on web material. Makes the block weaker drilling those bolts.

Chevy SB use 4 bolts because they aren't near as beefy as Mopar caps or bolt sizing.
