Well no, but saving money on a 1/4 mile grenade is a balancing act. Post #21 reads well to me.

Whatever the ECM does is the right answer, if you got the money to pay out for that solution. I don't.

See, i went with Studded and redoweled Steel MainCaps awhile ago: the Block showed a split up #2 web. Must have been the heavy TRWs, SD Rods and typical sized balancer. And the steel mounts.

I bought a 2-bolt drilled 455 block, cast caps stock bolts that had several hundred high rpm rounds in the low 9s. Inspected well. Sold it last year to a fella that will race it. Had/has aluminum rods and super light sbc 400 slugs and thinwall 927 pins.

Midplate and front plate seem to be the economical feature that keeps the main webs intact.
