Lowering blocks

Looking on Mancini's website they have 2 kinds,cast and billet. Will the cast ones be ok to use??

 

[fishy68]

I wouldn't use cast ones. I tried 2 sets of them on the back of my old Dakota and both cracked within a year. I don't know why they make and sell that garbage.

After 2 sets of the cast junk broke I found some rectangle 1/8" tubing the right size and cut my own. Took about 1/2 hr. to make the set and I never had a problem again.

For the $20 difference, get the billets.

there was a guy (Butch's Cool Stuff) at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona last week
that had rear lowering blocks and motor mounts for small block mopars.
located in Dayton Ohio...i guess his name was ,,Butch...937-405 3399
he was among the thousands of vendors and we just stumbled across his spot.
i didn't get any price info

Thanks Mr Bill!!!!!

Don't forget to machine the angle into them for the pinion angle you lose...

 

[mikesduster]

Thats a good idea!!!! Can you buy them with angle already in them?? I have shims to put in if I need them.
