I don't think it would be a good idea. Chevy engines need 4 bolt mains because the blocks are cast out of hardened toothpaste (you know, like the toothpaste on the edge of the sink in the evening). It isn't a good idea to use them. They usualy blow headgaskets at about 4:1 compression. The hi compression engines are 5:1.
