Ford 429 / 460 MAIN CAP GIRDLE - 10mm.
AUSTRALIAN designed and MADE
Suits all 429 / 460 - 385 series Ford blocks.
Will clear stroker cranks up to 4.500"
Includes 10 x 8mm CNC machined Spacers to clear the 'hump' in the main Cap.
Clears Oil Pump, may require minor sump modifications on some models.
Designed and Manufactured here in Australia using the latest CNC laser Cutting Technology, from 10mm thick M350 Steel. It has been precision ground on both sides to ensure flatness.
This quality product ties your main caps together to help eliminate cap walk. It also distributes harmful 'Harmonic Vibrations' across the entire cap set rather than just 2 Main caps either side of a Rod bearing pack. This product is a must in all Stroker, Turbo, Supercharged, Nitrous and high RPM applications.
Our girdle is a simple creation and is carefully designed to cater for lateral movement of the main caps for most extra duty applications. It has been made of 8mm steel to minimise stud length, oil pan clearance issues, and (flexible enough) to take up any small variations in cap heights and extra of course engine weight. Any thicker is unnecessary, as a girdle would have to be at least an inch thick to add to the structural integrity of the block itself ( if you're under the impression girdles 'strengthen' the block). However, thicker girdles can be supplied if requested and a longer delivery time is required.
The Installation of Main Studs is HIGHLY Recommended.
I use and supply ARP main stud kits.
The Kit for this application is an additional $279.00
If you have any questions about girdles please email.
Will gladly pack well and send anywhere in Australia.
