Girdle in cummins?

If you like that price,, you should check out Dr P's. They seem to have a very nice product for a good price
 
OK let's say that my engine ginna develope 900-1000hp and turn 5000rpm at least. Is it worth the money to buy a 14mm thick girdle plate or is it enough with cummins orginal girdle plate?
 
From DR P web site:

""Manufactured of special cold rolled alloy steel. The Dr. Performance Block Girdle has a thickness of .400 and helps maintain stability of main caps on high powered Cummins racing and pulling engines. The Dr. Performance Block Girdle is designed to be used in conjunction with the ARP Main Stud Kit. ""
 
How many guys want these? If 10 or more of you will commit to buy them, I can have them made for a REALLY good price. 1/2" 4340 sound good?

Pictures? Work for a CR block? Clearance issues with the cross member?
 
Dont forget if you have one that ties into the mains you'll need to have machine work done to it (block)
 
I work with a small jet engine component supplier. Tolerance is not an issue. I can build a kit to exactly match any out there for about 1/2 the cost. If you guys can drum up a group of ten+, I will have them made. No machining needed, bolt-on, will clear stock cross member.
 
well id need a price before i could commit to anything but that def sounds like something id be into..

How is there "no machining needed" if you plan on integrating with the mains?
The main caps have the be decked and spacers made to take the gap. Your "bolt-on" comment may lead to confusion.
On a second gen 12 valve a 1/2" thick girdle will cause the oil pan to contact the cross member.

Thanks for the info. I realize that stuff and the outer edge where the pan bolts and the oil p/u are milled to 1/4" for clearance. Also the spacers on the mains only contact where the studs go, so no machining needed. This kind of thing is not rocket science and I noticed that some of the places making them cant even spell "girdle" but still know how to spell "money" quite well!LOL
 
I may be interested too, and could possibly find a second buyer. Pm me when you have info.
 
i might be interested as well.are we talking $500 more or less?
 
i have one on cad drawing already, and checked it out it will cost 350.00 each for ten 4340 billet 1/2 thick, but i also think line boring is a necessity. this includes the straps but not the studs.

How are they cutting it? Curious about tolerances...
