"Main Caps" is the number of bolts holding the cap. A "two-bolt" main, or a four-bolt main. Four bolt main blocks are desirable in high performance applications because the extra strength of the additional bolts keeps the bottom end rigid and less prone to failure. However, a properly prepared 2 bolt main engine will work just fine (often times you'll lose a rod bolt before you break a crank because it's "only" a 2 bolt main).

Period. Total Production: 11,574 (6107 w/Manual Trans, 5467 w/Auto Trans) Engine: Includes special 350 CID, 245 hp V8, 10hp less than previous year. Torque still 280, Four-bolt main bearing caps, forged steel crank, "big valve" cylinder heads. Cast aluminum rocker covers with internal galleries. Hydraulic lifters replaced solid ones. Aluminum high rise manifold eliminated, replaced by cast iron intake with EGR. Rochester Quadrajet replaced Holley 4-barrel. Dual Exhaust pipe system. A 17-quart cooling system replaced 15-quart used since 1970. The 1973 & 1974 Z28 engine (L82) is similar to the LT-1 with the following EXCEPTIONS: the intake manifold is cast iron with a Rochester quadrajet, the camshaft is hydraulic. The cylinder head casting #'s differed, but the combustion chamber was 76.18cc for both years. Pistons were flat with a notch for valve clearance at high RPM. This combination yielded a 9.0:1 compression ratio. The air cleaner was either an open element 14" round air cleaner (1973) or the dual snorkle style air cleaner (1974). The 1974 dual snorkle air cleaner is unique in that it was smaller than previous years, and later in the year it was dimpled to accomodate the new HEI distributor. 1973 - 1974 L-82 1973 Z28 Engine - L82, 245hp Block 3970010 4 bolt main, suffix codes: CLJ, CLK, CLL, CLM See Photo Crankshaft 330550 Forged steel Cylinder Head 330545 2.02/1.6" Valves, 76.18cc, tapered spark plug, screw in studs & guide plates Cam 3896964 symbol: vertical diamond, GM part # 3896962 Intake 3997771 Has oil shield, EGR, Intake Runners Numbered See Photo Carb (A/T) 7043212 Rochester Quadrajet 4BBL, Remote Automatic Choke, w/Automatic Trans See Photo Carb (M/T) 7043213 Rochester Quadrajet 4BBL, Remote Automatic Choke, w/Manual Trans Distributor 1112148 Single Point, Uniset contact, RFI shield, Vacuum, Lite Blue paint spot See Photo 1112047 RH Exhaust 3986330 Log type, 2.026" outlet See Photo 14060630 LH Exhaust 3989041 Log type, 2.026" outlet See Photo Alternator: Delcotron 37 Amp, part # 1100934 Water Pump: 6263701 Cylinder heads have double pyramid casting mark See Photo. Cam specs: Hydraulic, Lift: .450/.460 (intake/exhaust), Duration: 346/360 (i/e), with 1.5 rockers. Engine block: Nearly every 350 you'll come across is casting # 3970010, some are 2 bolt, some are 4 bolt. Some are regular, some are 010, some are 010/020 (10-20 blocks). Check the suffix code to see what application the block is actually from. All Z28 blocks should be 4 bolt mains. Note: Some 1973 Camaros had a 1972 external voltage regulator. This occured before February 1973.
