I have a spare 400 (XH code) engine out of a 1970 Grand Prix that only has 5 of the 6 extra drilled and tapped holes. The 6th hole is only partially drilled. Drill bit must have broke during the drilling operation and because it was to have 2-bolt caps it wasn't worth reprocessing the block to complete the drilling and tapping of that 6th hole.
