your reffering to 1 of 2 things that i can think of

1 0010 the casting number of a 4 bolt main 350 block....well maybe theres a 50% chance if you have a 0010 block that its a 4 bolt

2 you may be reffering to the tin/nickle content of the block under the timeing cover on heavy duty blocks it will have 010 and right under it it will have 020 thats the ammount of tin/nickle

Thank you for the information.

Now, should anyone tell me the benefits of tin/nickel proportions of the block ?
