My "new" block (machined, but not assembled) has Indy alum caps and a CRE girdle, which is basically the same as Hughes' girdle. Ideal? Nope. Paid for? Yep. It'll have to do for a 650+ HP 3.75"-stroke 440.

Simply ,its like trying to screw a sheet metal screw into a stick of butter. Good use of words Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

B1duster master B Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 3,024 NY	Does anyone remember a magazine article yrs ago where they installed 1/2 inch cross bolts/studs in a hemi block (that I believe was cracked in the mains) and put 3/8 bolts with lock nuts through the pan rail to push down on the 6 cross bolts ??? Could have been like 30yrs ago.
