Dry sump.It's cool, but would never work in a factory chassis. Oil pan moved WAY down

Not sure $ ?OK, how much?
Where do we order from?
Or, maybe the right aftermarket K-frame & rack-and-pinion setup would take care of both of those concerns?
YesWould the aluminum girdle expand greater when at operating temperature (hotter than when machined) than the cast iron block?
Right. So basically useless in pretty much anything but a rail.It's cool, but would never work in a factory chassis. Oil pan moved WAY down
i'm using the hughes girdle on my 426 stroker took a while to line up and install other than that no problem .I have a Hughes main girdle on a Procharged 408 and use the Alter-k-tion you n my 70 ‘cuda. The very front of the oil pan is about a cunt hair from the rack. If you could move the engine back even 1/2” you would be GTG.

The problem with that is is it just adds weight. This stuff has been tested over and over and it does nothing. In fact it can be detrimental in that it moves the load around the block to where it shouldn’t be. Ritter is still making blocks. I’d save my money and buy that block before I ever did a girdle.

Would one made of steel expand at the same rate as the cast iron block? My design would be a lot different, it would not have the rail around the pan. Been thinking of this for 6 months now.
Let me try again, the black is the girdle,
it’s possible that nothing would change,
Relatively speaking
