I'm not sure about that versachassis price. What components did you plan on buying?
2 mounting points normally works fine for a normal WCD. For this years game I would recommend putting bracing between the two gearboxes.

Both the Versablock and the WCP Gearbox Bearing Block work fine with the WCP gearboxes(have used both)

In regards to the Versa-chassis pricing:

Gearboxes: $130 each( need 2) $260 total
Versa-blocks: $25 each( need 6) $ 150 total
½ hex bearing $5 each( need 16) $80 total
#25/35 chain 10foot $10 each (need 2) $20 total
#25/35 ½ hex sprocket $7 each( need 16) $112 total
WCP Cam $5 each (need 6-8) $40 total
Versaframe stock 59” $25 each (need 3+) $75 total
½ hex shaft stock 3foot $12 each (need 1) $12 total

Total = $749 before wheels

Edit: This is a cost breakdown to show the Versa-chassis price, not recommended components for a particular season
