All 455`s I`ve seen are drilled for 4 bolts till `75, when the casting number changed and started with a "5". Even in `74. I`ve got a spare `74 YY block here that is 4 bolt with 2 bolt caps.

All the `75 and `76 455`s I`ve seen have been 2 bolts not drilled for 4 bolts. `73 seems to be the last year for the windage trays also, at least on non sd`s.
