Guestimate	Considering putting together a DT466 for a 3500RPM open 3" turbo class. Seems to be in the territory of needing a girdle according to what I am told. Anyone give me an idea on cost of a girdle with machine work and all? I have an idea on everything else. Thanks. Reply Quote

Pull Fan	Wipe Out Enterprises has a full price sheet you can download on their website. That should give you an idea. Reply Quote

xxx	without billet caps made to length, spacers are not recommended, and line bored with the "RIGHT" studs, it is a waste of money. Reply Quote

To xxx	Absolutely nothing wrong with using spacers. Billet caps aren’t necessary at the level he’s talking. However I agree if not done “RIGHT” it is a waste of money Reply Quote

To plum crazy	Why type in all caps? I don’t think you understand the difference between buying stuff you don’t need and performing a process correctly Reply Quote

Just Saying	Also Plum Crazy, maybe the guy is on a tight budget and cannot afford billet caps. Not everyone can afford the best of the best. Reply Quote

Joey	spacers need to be done right and with that said all the proper machining would be near to what billets caps with no gaps would be. Reply Quote

All the proper machining for spacers is 375. That includes surfacing pan rails, surfacing main saddles, surfacing both sides of the main caps and surfacing the spacer to set girdle height. When we are done with a job all caps and spacers are the exact same thickness. Billet Caps are 1800 and still require the 375 to prep to your block and set girdle height. When done proper for the environment used there is ZERO issues using spacers. Prostocks before recast blocks used spacers.
