I want one!!! IMO this one piece approach might be better than a cross bolted extended skirt block. Certainly a step forward from multi piece skirt extensions and halo's etc.. Bill can confirm whether or not it will be a flat pan rail that I suggested. (a relatively easy mod to section an existing pan and install a flat pan rail or have a new pan made, as the piece fills the timing cover gap and can cover the rear main cap without a curve. Belt drive version simply could be made without the timing cover notch/extension.) Not only for stock blocks,...this should add further strength to aftermarket blocks as well. There are other things in the "pipeline" coming that will benefit us Pontiac enthusiasts and likely some Olds stuff too. Bill and Mondello's is not just about CV1 or Olds stuff. |

At last a girdle,hopefully for the stock blocks. Something like this one would be nice,even nicer if it's reasonably priced.

... the Billet-Main is a 1pc. design, and this one is for the Olds engine, but the next one we make will be for the Pontiac engine, and we will be making one for the after market Pontiac blocks also ... ... this one is almost finished, and we look forward to testing this one on very nasty SBO engine ...  ... Cody was working on the CAD model a little today, and here is where she's at so far ...

It has FINALLY arrived !!!
... well guys, we finally took delivery of the 5 Axis CNC upgrade today, and it looks very nice, despite the color (
 ) ...... i guess Prison-Yellow will have to work, lol ... but we have 2 sets of heads and the Billet Main Cage to machine once the new equipment is installed, which is scheduled for the second week of December, needless to say we are very excited to get this system up and running, we'll keep you guys posted ... |

... thanks Calvin, the 5-Axis system was already run/tested for 2 weeks on the same machine (RMC V30) in Detroit doing CNC porting on some SBC heads, so we cant wait to see it making chips on ours ... |

Congrats. Nice pieces.
This brought me back to the CV-1 to Olds conversion. How is that going?

... well, obviously we have been on hold waiting for the 5 Axis stuff, as we will be CNC'n our own heads now, but to be quite honest, we are still a little undecided as to which port will be CNC'd in the Old's/CV-1 heads, lol ... ... we are considering using my CV-1 HighPort/RacePlate's ports on these heads ... ... Cody is building multiple engines like me, so it is taking some time, but thanks for asking Ron ... |

"well, obviously we have been on hold waiting for the 5 Axis stuff,"
I'm sorry it wasn't obvious to me Bill. I believe it was some time ago you posted about the Olds ventures. This CNC info was new to me. Anyway, no worries, good luck with your programs. I wish we had 5 axis machines at work. Our machining centers are only 3 axis. Still possible to widdle some interesting pieces which is cool.

... oh no Ron, i was just stating it was obvious for me to put things on hold for the 5 Axis, not obvious for you ... ... it is nice to know now i can CNC development shapes for testing and such without having to pay for it, very nice perk ... ... but thanks for the good luck, we have much work ahead of us ...

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.
