There are a few pics floating around here somewhere. If those blocks in that kit are aluminum, I would stay away from them.
You can use a Ford cast iron block instead. I got mine from the local yard for $10. Just got to get some u-bolts made up.

The reason I say that about the aluminum blocks, is that on my lifted jeep I had a set deteriorate. Granted it took about 4 years in Chicagos weather. But still it was pretty scary when I discovered it.
