The 290 block was used for both 2 bolt and 4 bolt applications for the 70 model year. Our 70 L78 Marine Corps Nova has a 1972 dated 4 bolt CE motor..these really shouldn't be that rare considering how many 396 cars were made in 1970. A lot of guys blew up both the 350hp and 375hp motors..and Chevy was putting them back together "on the muscle"....not sure how many were made for just regular over the counter sales, but there must have been a decent amount. I've seen some old Berger ads where the L78 motor was one of their std. items.....
