Hey, didnt I buy a 400 block off you a few years ago......If your going to look at a girdle, I would quickly get with Greg at BCR and reserve one of his. They are the best no doubt!

Yes you did,
My mains arent walking much,(3 and 4 show some transfer) didnt know if i could get by with a less expensive setup? Any info is Greatly appreciated !

the problem i see with the other kits is that they require spacers to get the job done. Now your relying on the strength of some spaces. With the BCR kit once you install the mains, you deck the bottom of the block so the mains and block are flat. I know it seems a little pricey, but its not even close to a comparable product. I know how hard you mud guys are on stuff.... especially you....

Thanks for the kick in the pants Josh !! Not a place to skimp. Yes i am hard on stuff, But the ferds & chivys guys sure dont like to see the dodges pull in to the tracks !!!

i have a 3/8 CRE girdle for a good price.i used it for 2yrs.

The BCR girdle wont work for me , I need the internal pick-up .

I had a set of the 440Source aluminum caps. Nice enough pieces.

Bcr are out of girdle kits anyway,Dont know if it would have fit my internal pick-up....
Thanks for the replys

Diablo used a hughes engine girdle on his pull truck and said it done a good job.

I think you can get a thick girdle only from Mancini.

I used an internal pickup with the BCR cap/girdle sytem The girdle is notched for the pickup but I would have done it myself if it wasn't. I probably would have taken off less material too. FWIW, I think 1/2" thick is about right. Three-eighths seems thin and 3/4" just excess weight. The 3/16" aluminum one on ebay was hilarious.
