69 Hi Perf Pass Block

Were there any Hi Perf blocks (302/350) cast in 1969 with 2 bolt mains?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is why I asked:

I may be wrong but I think that casting number was only used in 1969 for 350ci/300hp and 302ci/290hp motors.

I've seen one of those in a 350/250hp 69 Chevelle.

Holding back on the stamping on the pad?

I thought the 69 block used was 386 not 388??

As it turns out it is a low-po 255hp 69 engine.

It was an HD, and the VIN matched, we pulled it out of my friends Chevelle and I told him about the 388 block in my 69 Camaro SS that was a 4 bolt. We pulled the pan and saw it was a 2-bolt like this one.

There were 4 302 blocks used in 69 and 5 350 blocks.
388 is pretty common. See http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#BlockCast
