Those aluminum blocks (the hexagon ones I assume) are extremely useful if you want to use the pre-fabricated gearbox! Cut them to size and bore out whatever you want for an input shaft! Once you cut them down and bore them out, they are extremely light....

Anyways, they are useful if you intend on using the prefab gearbox.

This year's CIM is 5342 RPM Free Load.
