Thanks for the reassurance. Fastlane Motorsports down here in North Carolina is building it. They've built some serious cars so I'm going to put my faith in Melvin and Caleb and let them work their magic.

I also remember reading about machining for 4-bolt mains. But there was concern that it actually weakens things due to the additional material removal. There were other issues associated with doing that but I can't remember what. I agree that if it is built correctly, it should be fine. They have been shown to handle some large power.
The cap walk happens under detonation in any motor, however when you go past 1krwhp the boss blocks tend to walk a little bit on their own. That is just part of having a 2 bolt main. If you are going to have a street tune that's 600-700rwhp and then only turn it on kill from time to time it won't be an issue. If you want to drag race this thing all the time I imagine it will start to walk eventually. IIRC there is a company that used some billet main caps that JPC sold but I decided to just go with a teksid shortblock instead of a boss because I got a good deal on the parts. Plus the head gaskets on the boss are nutty expensive! lol. Killer build man!
This is spot on, my goal is to have a street tune that is 700-800 rwhp then a kill tune that tickles 1000. I was thinking about this last night and aren't the 03/04 Cobra iron blocks all 2 bolt caps? There seem to be a good number of them out there running big numbers and I rarely hear about cap walk.
Well, Wilwood lies....I don't see any possible way their rear big brake kit can clear a set of 17" wheels.
Out with the AFS 03 replicas with Nitto 555r and in with the Saleens with R888 rubber

I had a buyer for the pistons and rods had an issue with a return so he had to back out. Are you interested?

The Wilwood rear kit does have a parking brake...you just need to buy their parking brake cable (which seems to be about 6" too long)
another delivery today
While I'm waiting for Fastlane Motorsports to finish up my engine, I decided to get the twins coated. The turbine side is ceramic coated and the compressor side is powder coated. Also had the cold side piping powder coated flat black
