I really dont know yet. Shouldn't be to bad since the run time on the CNC doesn't look bad. Of course it depends on how many we run. I really hadn't planned on selling these, but we can run some extra, if there is enough interest. When we arrive on the finished product, I will get an idea of how many want them and then I will have a cost. The 3 center main caps will require some simple machining. You should be able to get that done locally from anyone that has a mill. It's mainly to get a proper fit to the mains. I will shoot some pics of the main caps after machining so you will get a better idea of what we are doing. As said before, this is an engineering excersize and all of your input is more than welcome. I don't profess to have all the answers. I figure that if someone thinks they have all the answers, hasn't heard all the questions yet. We are also going to make our own motor plate. I know BOP sells one, but that's not our style....lol. We like to make out own stuff. We are going to design one that uses a SBC water pump and timing cover. These guys at the strip are having a hard enough time trying to figure out what kind of motor is in our firebird, wait till they see it this time. "Hey, what kind of Chevy motor is that?"......I can hear then now.
