Main Stud Girdle Kits

You can't do an ABA... Unless you want to pay for the block machining twice, then you can't go back to "a". Girdles are by design meant to tie the main caps to the main webbing. When was the last time you saw a small block break at the webbing? That's a big block thing. On small blocks the caps flex and walk. A stock 340 can have cap walk - so you use studs. At about 550hp, the caps flex, so you replace the caps. Somewhere over 600hp the bores start to distort. How and when things break is always the sum of the parts and the labor. So there's nothing but generalities and personal history. The numbers and issues above are what I've found. So the question comes down to cost vs reward for the end user. The top three biggest snake oil salesman lines involve having to use girdles, HV oil pumps, and running "chevy" cams. At least IMO...lol
