Doesn’t apply to your situation.

The adapter mounts are used when the earlier 2-bolt mount blocks (like your 428) are transplanted into later second-gen Firebirds.

455 blocks have the correct 5 bolts per side to accommodate mounting in big Pontiacs and the later Firebirds. Not sure exactly when the change was made but generally 1969 and down blocks had only 2 bolts for mounting on each side.
