Alluminum Bulkheads

[olds97_lss]

That's about where I was when I packed it in. Stupid thing nickled and dimed me to death!

Yeah, but it's fun. The things available now make them nearly bulletproof as opposed to only a couple years ago.

 

[olds97_lss]

Yeah, with the new revo style diffs... and trans... still have the weak bulkhead design. Cheaper to keep them running now though.

ok, after searching site sponsers i cannot find what material their alum bulks are made of. i know everyone hates integy but i found some made from 7075. if gh or fastlane would give me a better product description i would buy theirs. does anyone know for sure?

I am almost 90% sure that GH uses 7075 and Fast Lane uses 6061 T6. I have had both and both were very good products. I have FLM currently and never had a problem.

thanks joey, i hope they do for that price,lol. i really want some 7075 so i know if they break it's time for some hybrids. i will keep searching for info. maybe a couple emails will work but while this goes on a bada$$ t-maxx sits on the table.

I think part of the problem with integy is that theirs aren't CNC'd out of billet stock. They are cast, then polished up to look nice.

I'm pretty sure FLM and GH CNC their stuff out of billet stock, which makes them less likely to crack or bend.

Either cast or CNC'd out of billet could be 6061, but you get a much better part out of CNC'd billet.
