it may seem expensive ($400) but it will be worth it when you get to making custom frame rails, headers, and other fun stuff. i need one for when i put a 454 in my '70 vega
thanks

Can you bolt on accessories and headers on those plastic engines?
If you can and make a lot of custom stuff I think it would pay for itself pretty quick.

I believe all of the holes are tapped so you can bolt the accessories up.
