It was $799 for the caps and Girdle just to clarify.

---

That is what they were when I bought them.
The price included all the hardware. ARP main stud kit, cap to girdle stud kit, girdle oil pan rail stud kit. When I say "kit" it includes all the washers and nuts too. The oil pan rail has two nuts, one to hold the girdle to the block and a set to hold the oil pan to the girdle.

Pic of them on the 400 block (one stud out on the #2 main as I was fitting the oil pickup at the time):

I am working on a replacement machinist to take this over again as the last machine shop failed me. I will be a little more proactive on my next choice.

I have heard from a lot of peeps here who have broke caps on the low deck. The bcr caps and girdle are very nice looking pieces, but that price would push me a lot closer to just getting an aftermarket block, which is out of my price range. I am honestly just trying to figure out the best bang for buck. Honestly I could probably meet my goals with a 451, but then I feel the victor max wedge ports are a little large for a nice power curve with that size of motor. I do want a 6500 power peak with a 451 or 470. But then the stroker kit prices are tempting for the 440s but id still rather build a low deck.
