4 bolt main 460?
Any chance that a 460 in a 76 ranchero had a 4 bolt main?

There were no 4-bolt 460s produced. '70/71 SCJ and some CJs received the only 385 4-bolts and they were 429s.

I know you can with chevies milodon makes them. You just drill two more wholes in you block (at an angle) and tap them.

Call a few machine shops that do H.P. motors

There are a couple of conversion kits to convert 385 2-bolt to 4-bolt blocks. Haven't personally done one, but hear good reports.
The 2-bolt will easily handle 700hp, so you must be planning something interesting.
