General motors probably rates that block under 300 horse.

On all the 2 blolt block we due in our shop for performance engines we install splayed center caps and see zero problems and also install a front billet cap and strap the rear main cap with an ARP stud kit. We did about 75 splayed cap blocks last year for engine builders and machine shops in the U.S. and Canada.

I thought I could click on their URL and find out, but apparently if I don't run the area code on the contact number, I'm just supposed to know that they're located somewhere northeast of somewhere else.

Why don't people put their locations on their business web pages? Sure would make life easier on people who might want to use your services.

Seriously, CNC BLOCKS N/E, I'm not being a smartass. I just think e-commerce would be much smoother if we didn't have to do detective work to find out where businesses are located.

Seems to me that I remember quite a few other states in the NorthEast United States, but Maine is about as NorthEast as it gets.

I must say that I greatly appreciate the contributions CNC BLOCKS N/E makes to this board. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

We are located in in southern Maine the CNC shop is 5 minuts from Portland International Airport and 1 hour from the NH state line.

Umass thats why I post my website, There is a tab there that says email me. Thats how people have been contacting me and my profile has my email adress as well. Look in your email I left a message yesterday afternoon where my location is.
