    I have came up with a design that covers all 5 main caps but I seemed to have reached a snag I'm having trouble locating bolts. I need 12x1.75x85mm. any ideas? These things fit but I need longer bolts. Studs won't fit under the pan on the #1 main cap.

    Slim, If you or anyone else would like to contact Andrew for a block girdle or any other custom machining, send me a PM with your email address, and I'll forward your note to him. I was in contact with Andrew as recently as a couple of months ago. I don't know if he does custom work for others, but it wouldn't hurt to ask... His custom Jesel roller rockers look really cool too!

    I am a big fan of roller rockers. There is a lot of friction (heat, HP loss...) where those suckers ride on those shafts.

    It's been a couple of years since I last received an email from Andrew. At that time, his engine/truck was still running great.

    Has blazer or anyone developed and installed a main girdle? Other than the sweet alumimum one. Id like to learn from the experience of others before plowing new ground. Is anyone producing one that connects all main caps. I know that a custom oil pan would be required. Thanks for your input and patience.
