    What size tubing did you use for mount? If someone were to bring in some steel would you bend it to specified angle?

    It is a robust 1 5/8" chromoly tube and if I remember right .250" plate. Sent you a pm about bending.

    Little update. The iron block 5.3 I was installing had a bit too much rust in the cylinder walls after honing for a 800hp motor, so we scrapped that and picked up an aluminum 5.3 shortblock and should have that put together in the next couple weeks. Hopefully the next month or two will get really interesting!

    Got the chance this part weekend to clean the block up a bit and tear it all down. Cylinder walls looked mint as did the rings and pistons. Here it is after a nice hot bath.
