Excellent!

Look great. Do you have a fitted picture perhaps? Or, I'm sure that is coming!

yeah, I just picked up a spare motor, so I can do a mock up and test fitment at some point, but that will come after my car rolls out of my buddies shop(super close, just need to tie up the brake lines)

Holy crap! Those things are monstrous!

truckinwagen · « **Reply #154 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:50:24 pm »

what do you mean?

they are 1/2 inch thick, which should be ideal for stiffness without being unduly heavy.

I'm just saying there's no way the block will be flexing with that bad boy in there.

Those are looking pretty awesome! Thanks again Owen!

I just had a thought about oil level. If you leave the dip stick and the oil pump in the same location you will be able to have a larger oil capacity. That sounds like a good thing.

not come time for an oil change, but i suppose better capacity for soot means slightly extended drain intervals :lol: but you have a very good point.. i never thought about that.

well, I just got the four girdles being shipped individually to canada, and it cost $38.25 each!!! :shock:

they had to be priority, for some reason you cant ship parcel post internationally.

so for those in canada, I am sorry, but it looks like $38 in shipping.

the three being sent together have yet to go out, as I have to modify a box for them, but they will go out later with the ones headed for the USA.

and for the one going to france, I will have that one out tomorrow afternoon and will let you know what it cost to ship after I do so.

$38 shipping doesn't surprise me. It's still way better than paying $450 PLUS shipping.

Just wondering, have you weighed one to see how heavy it is? Silly question I guess as you must have weighed them when you mailed them. How much do they weigh?
