I was going to do that, but unfortunately there is only about 1/16&quot; of aluminum between the cap and the oval that holds the unilug washer.

Thanks. Born with L34 350hp/396. M21 and born with 3.31 rear end. I'm going to run the '72 402 you can see behind the car. It's the exact same 854 block. I want to bag and tuck away the born with motor. I'd puke if I put a rod through the original...

That's what I've been keeping my eyes open for. I can't see eBay right now, but what I want are something close to the style I posted here. I see a lot of the flatter ones. I don't care for those. I'll take a look at your link a little later. Thanks.

I just checked those out. They look like they would have been perfect. I'm a little gun shy with the sizes though. Those did look right. I have a search follow set up on eBay, so we'll see what happens.
