I have used one for the past 3 years. Its simple! Bolt the starter to the midplate. Best Mopar block available in my opinion. Never a single issue. Ran it with a 425 shot of NOS. And 38# of boost with a procharger. Never an issue.

Mike I looked into just machining everything off the front. Make a provision out of billet to use a Webber belt drive. Weld or bolt it to the aluminum block. Never heard any complaints with the gear drive but I would prefer the belt.
The limited bore and deck heights are the only reason I never ran the alluminum block.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

I know that. The aluminum sprint car block I had didn't have the little radius in the block for a starter. The block came straight off the pan rails and made a square corner. You couldn't bolt a starter to the bellhousing.

This one has the gear drive and 60 mm cam blank with it. I would think it is worth the $4500 asking price.
