chevrolet small block?

10-19-2007

I was reading on the internet about the small block v8 and according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Small-Block_engine it says that in 1987 the valve cover bolts were changed from running around the perimeter to running down the centerline of the valve covers. Okay this is where i get confused i bought a 350 back in may and ran the numbers on the block and it came back as being a 94 gm crate motor made in mexico. It has the four bolts around the perimeter of the valve covers, does this mean the heads on this motor are older than 87?

Does it really matter? That's the only difference, the valve covers.
