Yes I have used auto plumb several times and already have everything set in my cart and appears they have everything i need in stock.  I really like the Aeroflow fittings but they have gotten really expensive. 
Just pull the trigger i guess.. 

Apparently I didn't read the last line where he mentioned it being for a SHOC. My bad..

I pinned the girdle on my 445fe. Just two pins on each side. More so to keep it located.  Maybe it was for shits and giggles but it made me feel better about it. Also did the program cross bolt caps as well and also the 1 and 5 billet caps. It's the only FE I have pinned the girdle on. The other 4 (2 mud bog FE's and 2 bracket FE's) were not pinned. Both mud bog engines are still alive and well although I have freshend both up . Can't say about the bracket engines,  lost touch with those over the years.
As mentioned, To properly install the girdle does require some work. On the 445 I squared every surface off the crankshaft center line. Even the front and rear. You would be suprised just how outa square some of these old iron blocks are. I elected to do a line bore after getting the caps installed like I wanted and filling the block then square the pan rails for the girdle.  Once the girdle was installed a touch up line hone was done.
Was this the perfect way to do it ? FM, I don't know but I felt warm and fuzzy about it. 154 1/8 mile passes and 16 1/4 mile passes.  Best et of 5.41 (1/8) . 
I will say I did rod bearings once but never touched the mains.  Engine is out now setting in the corner ready for a winter tear down if I can manage to get to it. All my stuff has been in a holding pattern  for the past 9 months. Should be getting back after it soon though.  Atleast hoping. Life throws some strange shit at you sometimes. It's all about perseverance...

Yes, those are the Visner billet heads I believe.  I actually sent the wrong video. 

These are cast FE heads highly worked by Jim and Jeff.  Either Blue thunder or pro ports I would imagine

I have done several intakes with the tried and true original JB weld over the years. I have an old port O sonic that I did 8 pushrod tube's in over 30 years ago, ran it hard for 5 years or so and wouldn't hesitate to put it back on an engine now.

Added FE power rocker covers.
