Because they are 429 PI and 429CJ blocks with 4-bolts mains at 2-3-4 positions.
There's the Beef !

Not all D0VE-A blocks are 4 bolt mains....I have one in the shed that is 2 bolt mains.
But, from my understanding, they were the basic block for the CJ/SCJ and have the thicker main webs and provisions to mount the 4 bolt caps easier than on the later model blocks.
Worth that much more? I doubt it. They are definately worth more than the late 70's and later 460 blocks. A D0VE-A block sold on eBay for $65 plus shipping just this paaast week.

Well, I guess I can throw those two books away.
Sorry, about that.
