Combine this with the billet timing cover you could have a very unique setup, especially since you can change the timing cover design in cad to match either en existing oil pan on the market or for a custom pan you fabricate. Since there is no rear oil seal and the pan is flat essentially you can put the pan bolt holes wherever you want for the oil pan, that opens the design possibilities quite a bit.
The bottom of the timing cover can now be flat if desired and mount flush to the main cage.

... we will make the cage bolt up to the stock timing cover, this way you wont have to buy a new cover when someone wants to puchase the cage ... |

Bill- I'm confused. I assume you work for Mondello Racing Engines in Tennessee? Their website 'history' talks about Joe Mondello. But there's Mondello Performance in California, whose website also gives tribute to Joe Mondello. Whassup...??

at the front of the "cage" the piece can be shaped to fill the timing cover notch. Basically cut a std pan approx same depth as timing cover notch and the rear pan seal. Put a flat flange on it and call it a day. For those with belt drives the front could be trimmed off or cage could be made without the timing cover notch extension. I recently took a canton pan previously cut for belt drive and converted it back to std configuration. Not fun even if it came out nice. However I did get a good visual of how easy a flat pan rail mod would be. Cage will definately add strength to any block, stock or aftermarket...even if it was cast ductile iron...however billet aluminum should also help absorb harmonics at high rpm and certainly save weight over iron. I would think cast ductile iron could cost less than billet aluminum IF enough demand and more than adequate for most applications.. either way Mondellos has the equipment to machine it simpler. Cody and I were sharing thoughts on the main "cage" earlier this year. The Olds crowd needs this even more than we do. I have a few other thoughts to pass on next time I stop up there. |

Joe was in so many types of performance development and other businesses that required him to hire someone else to help him run MPP in California. Joe later sold 1/2 the company to Lynn Wilfringer, after Joe passed, the remainder of the company was to be sold to Lynn. I met Joe right when he started his shop in Crossville TN. California was way to expensive to house the type of shop he wanted and he felt being in the hot bed of motorsports in the south would help his business continue to grow. MPP in California operated independent of Mondello Tech in TN, after Joe's passes, the school changed it's name to Joe Mondello Racing Engines. Hope this helps.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
