looks good!

the girdles and stuff are a waste of money IMO. everyone has a different opinion though...

windage tray is said to be worth it while the motor is apart, but nothing dramatically different.

I have a 347 short block from CHP. I need some opinions on a main girdle, main studs and windage tray. Should I consider any of them. Motor will have otb TW heads with custom cam from ford strokers and holly intake. It will be mainly a street car but will see the track once or twice just to see what she's got don't really see more than 6k rpms. So let me know what you guys think.


any rubbing with those 275's in the back?

That's what I get from researching I'm not really looking for more power but for longer engine life.

As for rubbing in the back at first it seemed like everything was fine but when I removed the tires to install the antimoan braces there was a slight rub on the inside. Must have been on turns. I have since put some 1/8 spacers and everything seems to be fine. This is with fox length axels. The front to my surprise does not rub but I have not installed the fender aprons but I'm sure it will rub some on them when turning.
