Tom,
I have done one on a SBF. On the SBF it would help with cap walk, but thats about it. I would think its similar to that of a SBC as the caps are past the pan rail on both motors. Ive never seen a SBC one. I think a set of splayed 4 bolt caps would be easier to work with if it was a 2 bolt block.. Just my .02
