4 bolt mains

I got a couple pair of 4 bolt main caps (cat) in that will fit both my sons 351w and my 400. Thinking of using a set on my current 400 propane build as it is a bit beefy.

Wondering about the benefit or lack thereof vs splayed or parallel outside cap bolts as I have both. The block has already been line bored with stock caps so also wondering if i should wait until I do a stroker build etc. any input is appreciated as always.

Unless I was regularly exceeding 6K for substantial lengths of time I wouldn't spend the time or $ to rebore the block with the correct caps.

I plan on never exceeding 6k unless by accident. I'll save them for my stroker build in the future.
