Hey Keith, Do you use a crank girdle on your 408 engines? I read somewhere that engines using production blocks that make over 500HP should use crank girdles. Thanks.

Hey Keith
Should I use a girdle on a 354/ 5.0 with close to 450 plus ( I hope ) HP? I have see ads for alum, steel and tool steel main girdles. Which is the best? Dwight

Coach is going to install the 461ci you build for him Sunday.

599.5 HP and 619 tq

We have run the 351W blocks up to 600HP without the girdles without any problems. We will use one if the customer plans on running nos or a blower. I do not feel that in a 500HP situation that you will have not any problems. Thanks, Keith

Thanks Keith, I think I'll be ordering your 408 around the 1st of the year. Jerry
