Hmm, local gm dealer says the main cap bolts are no longer available.ARP
says they don't make them either. ARP has them for the 350. Aren't the 350's
and 307's the same? Got a 307 I was puttin back together and broke a main
bolt. Motor is assembled completely except for the cap bolt and oil pan,
ready to be reinstalled but here I sit. Thanks in advance for any info.

It does look that way, both parts numbers come up invalid. #'s 1, 2, 3
& 4 use 398659 and #5 uses 22511818. Did the dealer try to do a
locate? Sometimes another dealer may have some on a shelf.

I never used or have any knowledge of them, but this place claims
they have both: http://www.vintageparts.org/index.php

Seems to me there was another company that bought remaining stock of
old parts, but the name escapes me at the moment.

Everything is easier if you have the part number. Thanks for reporting
back, I may have to keep them in mind as GM discontinues more and more
parts for mine.
