As a two bolter it still has a wide main cap that seats very well in the block and can be easliy adapted for a splayed cap. The main webbing is thicker and reduces growth that you might experience.
I will have to check the number, I dont have it off the top of my head. Also, wouldn't you think the stock caps would be fine? Its not the caps that break, its the casting they're bolted into that does.
