The best possible setup is the girdle with aluminum caps, and having the caps milled to not require any shims or spacers for proper assembly. Spacers make it a Pain to assemble. If you don't have a crankshaft yet, a center weighted crank puts the loads more where they belong, across all the bearing caps, not most of it on 2 and 4. My Mega Block had cap walk issues till I bought a center weighted crank.
After going on the BCR web site and taking a good look at the girdle design, it does everything I would expect out of a properly designed girdle kit. It has aluminum caps that need machining for proper realtionship to the girdle(easy assembly, no spacers) plus the caps are additionally supported outside of the maincap bolts with studs going through the girdle. Top shelf product IMHO. The kit I had does not have those two features(machined caps and extra studs)

Yes and how is our Swedish friend have not heard from him in a long time. Those design phase days were fun times and and without the Swedish engineering it likely would still be a drawing. When all was said and done we made no improvements to what you see Jerry doing today. Hats off to all that were involved from Dan Vern Jim etc and of course Jerry for keeping this thing alive.

Just wanted to announce the new pricing for the girdle kits
girdle kits $625.00
girdle caps $350.00
i put all the details in the hot deals section and we are still honoring the moparts 10% off until the end of the sale.
So, I'm guessing the girdle kit includes the caps?

yes the girdle kits include the main caps, arp studs, and oil pan rail studs and nuts as well as the main cap to girdle studs and nuts
I think that is less than what I paid several years ago. Good deal!
