No.

Item #3 in the above diagram is the equivalent.

What is the Windage Tray, Oil Pick up, and those things listed by Z10 as what I would need for the Z10 block girdle?

I ordered part #3, #5 and the 6 bolts (#18) as well as a ITR flywheel from acuraautomotiveparts.net. You will have to wait awhile for the part to show up at your door becuase its ALWAYS on backorder. I should see mine next month or in sept and I ordered in early july. The total price for girdle mod is like $150.00ish.

I chose the ITR part over the Z10 because of the OEM quality and that the z10 girdle is WAAAY overpriced. Its esentially just a CNC machined piece of metal (aluminum). Not worth it. But I’m also doing all the machining for the LS block endcaps. But that cost from a machinist is still way under $300 bucks.

That thing will bolt up to a b18a?
