Some of those caps have more then a 10 degree angle on the splayed outter bolts may get you into the water jackets and tring to fit stepped caps is a PIA do to the block register being different from side to side and they always fit the regester to tight.
We have been using the flat bottom caps from Pro-Gram and we cut the register and drill and tap for splayed caps in less then 20 minutes and those caps jobber out at 182 a set. And these caps have a 10 degree outter bolt which workd good on 010 type blocks.
There is a pic of a block we prepared for another shop in this link

May i have a website on the warehouse that stocks these caps? If the jobber is 180ish people usually pay around 200 then right. I gotta do this i just picked up a set of brodix track 1X's so it should make some good power but i want to make sure i get the best bang for the buck. so do you not like the ductile iron have you ever had any bad experiences with them. I had a set before on my last block and you can just tell the strength difference between them and stock caps ive brocken a stock cap before they are garbage looking.
