No the Only 351 that came stock with a 4 bolt Main was the 351C I think in 1970 and 1971.

All thought you can get the 4 bolt main caps and have them fitted to any 351C/M 400. But if I was going to go through all the trouble to have 4 bolt mains put in my motor I'd Adapt for the Splayed type.

I think only the BOSS blocks came with 4 bolt mains. But don't forget the Aussie cast blocks, of which at least SOME came with 4 bolt mains.

These motors don't really need 4 bolt mains unless your reving them really high. They are very strong with just 2 bolt mains.
