Girdle Options??? February 19, 2014 01:26AM
I am building a tractor to pull in a class that allows open rpm on gas motors, i am building a gas, the trouble is it only has a 4 main block running wide open it will need some support on the bottom end. I have been trying to find someone to build a girdle because i doubt I'm going to find a used one. Trying to do this as efficiently as possible my question is, should i just break down and spend the money to have a girdle built? if so can a local machine shop handle that or would it be better to have someone who builds performance parts do it. Second is there any other options out there that will work?

One from a 404 or 466 Deere will fit that block. Worst case you have to remove the part designed for the extra mains on the 404/466. 2 and 6 will probably clear the CW, #4 might have to go.

Do you have to use the 362 block? Do you have a CID limit? The 362 head will bolt to a 7 main block. I believe Scott Everett said on here that they once ran a 7 main diesel crank in a 4 main gas block.
