Default LT1 engine internal

LT1 owners.

I found a flaw on 2 OE. LT1 engines.
The composite distributor stub developed stress cracks both sides of the arm.
I currently made a proto type aluminum version to eliminate UNscheduled DISassembly.
Before dropping my 383 perfecting my 2nd admiral.
Gauging if any LT1 owners would like to eliminate this possibilty. if I make a batch. possible production.

Thank you in advance.


OE

Proto fit test.

I was by no means trying discourage your efforts!!!! There's definitely room for metal bodied one that isn't billet and it's price point👍

No sir. Moving forward. Mine is replacing my OE composite, I did not pay $150. Best part is I made it. I seriously looked in the past. I did not find TP. They must be new and recently released this stub housing. Thank you gent's.
