Hi Fred.
What about connecting rods with 5/16 bolts?

Should be 3/8 bolts?

So is it a true HiPo block?

Thanks.

Being as it has the correct main caps, it may possibly be a Hipo block. The seller actually did not advertise it as a Hipo short block but rather a Hipo block, I corrected that in the forum. It has a 302 crank and rods which are definitely NOT Hipo 289 items.
