The X block that we have in the shop has a busted front main cap. Replacements don't seem to be available from the usual places for the front cap. Anyone know if main caps are available for the X block? I think member Rocket is always selling main caps on here and Abodiesonly

I don't know if these could be used, but I do have a set of the MP 4-bolt main caps here.
Was thinking of using them on my stroker W2 build, but it being a factory block there just wasn't enough meat in the webbing to dig into, so I just kept these in the box for when the time is "right" and I finally have a stout block available to build with.
If these might work, PM me and I can send you more info....not sure if this is an emergency type thing or not, either way, if nothing else pans out there is that option!

Anyone know if main caps are available for the X block? I think member Rocket is always selling main caps on here and Abodiesonly Yeah I've seen his posts over the years but not recently. I'll PM him to see if he has anything left. We did find that Pro Gram makes a HD front main cap for the 340 block but they are out of stock for who knows how long.

2 bolt? I would think a 318 or 340 cap could be made to work just touching up the line bore.. I don't think the caps were anything special. Just the block casting beefed up.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Call Kent Ritter. He has billet caps and may have some OE caps laying around.
If it’s in the budget you should just buy a full set of his billet caps and be done with it.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I've got a set of ductile iron caps off an R3, 360 main I think, if you want them.
