Main Girdle helps stiffen the block due to the crankshaft flexing under high load The more boost and revs the worst the flex and stronger bracing required. I think the Atomic Girdle is a 10mm piece of billet steel so compared toThe factory 2 separated piece rails, one either side held together by the thin Baffle/Windage tray is only really good in standard power plus minor power increase. Another advantage of tying the main caps together is that the block does not flex so bad that can cause head gasket failure. I was going to just use the standard girdle for now but have since changed plans and now putting finish of my build off till can afford a good girdle and studs saves stuffing around removing engine again. Just means I have to be patient and wait till funds permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with engine mount, to my understanding is you have to shave down the right hand side to make it fit in. and for the girdle just get atomic all the research is done for you. plus the have 2 types I think. there is guys on here who swear by it.
