    Yes, that is correct, MK IV. I use on in my ProStock engine.
    Never had any trouble with it.

    I have a sonic test sheet form one of those blocks. Was a Keith Eickert 496... (4.31 bore) and the thinnest thrust surface bore thickness is .317". The average thickness is about .325 and there are a lot of places that are in the .340-.345 range, and as thick as .416". This was a pre-bowtie "marine" tall deck Mk IV.

    588 is the most I would go to be safe 4.5x 4.560 but I don't like to live on the edge.

    You must be running a 3.76 stroke. Just to be legal
