2 things- 1 be careful which ones you buy. My machine shop had a big problem with the first set due to the cheap chinese metal.
Second, it was expensive.
after the holes were drilled I could not switch to the more expensive but quality american product due to the different angles 17* American made 18* Chinese. I ended up buy 2 more sets and the second set machined ok.

Yep thats the ones that gave me a problem. Eagle was trying to claim that they had never had the problem before and it must be the machist. Luckily Jegs is a real good company. The consistancy of the metal in the first set I got was completely inconsistant. It went from soft to hard and broke several carbide bits and a couple of diamond tips and then was out of tollerance. The second set machined fine, but what a PITA. I would have saved money by going with the more expensive Milodons in the end.

Depends on the setup. See my pic, you see the Main Caps, they are 6-Bolt cause 6 Bolts hold them into the Block. Gen III and up Chevy are 6-bolt, Gen II and back are 4 or 2-Bolt.
