sounds good 700hp and 8000rpm. the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] build a good motor. just sold a 08 gsxr 750,ran flawlessly. very impressed with their motors. redlined at 14,500rpm. best rated my 408 at [Email]680hp@7500[/Email] with just studs and stock caps and block fill as the max on block. aluminum main caps will be alittle insurance.
Dave, these main caps will be 4140 steel, not aluminum. They should have the same thermal expansion rate as the block.

Jerry im happy to put my hand up for a set if your happy to ship to australia for me.
There ya go. USPS ships all over the world and I've found them better for overseas shipping than UPS.

...and on a different note, I take it you decided to keep the W5's in the family.
...and on the integrated girdle I'm betting a fairly heavy cast aluminum pan with the girdle built in is what you are possibly thinking of, but where do you draw the $$ line.

Yes the W5's are going on this engine. It might not be ideal but I can get my big cam in there and still keep the compression around 12.5.
Jerry would like to do a small block girdle that ties into the pan rail but there doesn't seem to be much of a market for that. Once you start spending so much money on a stock block you might as well just pop for the R or Ritter block.

Just wanted to follow up with everyone. we had a really go response to the first order of the small block main caps. we are currently finishing the programming and these will be going on the cnc on wednesday. prototypes will be done on friday and the first productions units will start no later than monday. most of the customers want 4140 steel. some are going for aluminum. i will post some pics as soon as i get the first ones off the machine.
Jerry
Thanks for the update Jerry! I just dropped my heads off at Mike Ford's racing engines to have them cut and talked to him about line boring and honing the block. I'm getting excited now...
