Standard blocks are very weak. I have never seen a T-block but the standard block has 7/16" main bolts instead of 1/2" on 1-4 and 1/2" instead of 9/16" on the rear. I had one that seized up and broke the crank in 3 pieces and ripped the 3 center main webbing's out of the block. The main webbing was very thin. I would be afraid to use a standard block for any of this. It was a 79 301 in a Grand Prix.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
