An easy fix.
Main Bolts, on T's, A's, and B, Fords always get a lip on the block, where the main bolt nut tightens. This lip will stick in the main bolts threads, and hamper bolt removal.
Take a vice grip, and snap it on the square end of the bolt, and screw the bolt out. Then, take a 1/2 " drill bit, and run it through the main bolt holes, and get rid of another irritating problem.
We have done this with all the engines, we have built. Don't beat on anything.
