girdle with filled block

[smokin24v]

Just bought a filled 12v block for a 2.6 build was wondering your thoughts on if a girdle was needed or not?

You can never build anything too strong for this sport. I would Girdle it!

If you can swing the cost girdle it and be done. I skimped on mine and didnt girdle it. Think about that everytime i unload it haha.

And if you can swing the cost of the girdle, then have it installed by a competent machinist that will check to see of the mains squished/align hone it with the girdle installed.
