I wasn't implying that a BBC was weak I just think by putting on a guirdle I'm making already strong block stronger. I also know that "KENNY" at CNCwhatever is in the business of selling and installing billet main caps so sure he doesn't recomend using them he wants to sell you parts and machine shop services.
I'm wasn't trying to sell anyone on the idea of using a main stud guirdle, I was merely replying to a post.
I bought mine because they "DO" strengthen and "WILL" make anything stronger and more rigid which is why the inheritly weak sbf fords guys use them in the first place.
I don't have money falling out of my butt like some folks do on here
to spend on fancy 4 bolt splayed main cap conversions I did the best with what I had. I bought mine roughly for what it cost to buy a set of arp studs so yeah I bought the guirdle which came w/ studs and no I didn't have to mill the main caps down to make it fit and yes they clear my H beams rods.
Have a nice weekend, Charles
