    Guys - thanks for the info.

    I have a 360 in storage now that one day will be built, this time, a little stronger on the bottom end.

    A 401 would be nice. Once I'm a little further along with the 360 I'm working on now, and have more resources (cough, money, cough) I'll be keeping an eye out. Though if a good deal comes along, who knows!

    could prove interesting.

    Also, would the main studs available be tall enough to accommodate the girdle?

    Thanks!

    Girdle

    Just spoke to Larry concerning his AMC girdle, he said he is running a special discount in the month of June, and has a few in stock as of today. Really nice guy to talk to, told me he has been making them for a very long time.

    The money order is in the mail the first day of June for his kit.

One is that the expansion rate MUST be the same as the stock cap. 1045 is the popular choice of material and it has a co-efficient of thermal expansion that is VERY close to the stock caps and block, 212 - 750 deg F. is 5.9-7.5 (per pro grams specs) Which is probly heat treated. When you use a plasma or lasered piece and it expands much greater than those numbers (mild steel) then your nuts will loosen. Material stability is another one...mild steel will dance under the heat due to the stresses (unless stress relieved) and for that length and thickness of material if it is indeed mild steel it can cause bearing issues. All this considering the machinist hasnt done his math on the material involved. Other considerations would be the flatness of the material. Blanchard grinding give materials a ultra flat surface, better than just a machined surface. The holes should also be VERY close to .500. Hopefully all this is integrated into this item.
    Okay, so what is the bottom line?
    I am reading conflicting comments.

    Do Stud Girdles for the AMC 360 work?
    Does this piece from Larry Keoman help or hurt?

    I believe this is a solution that could work for a while. How long depends on the heat/cooling cycles and fastener tension. Lots of these are made from 1045 steel (medium carbon middle range tension strength) and work very well. This is a unique piece for a AMC V8 ...I would use one.

    main cap girdle

    I received the AMC girdle last week, Larry packed the item up very well and was mail to me in a very timely fashion. The instruction are very well written out with alot of details. The correct ARP studs & nuts were also in the kit. He gave me a copy of his AMC V-8 oiling modification pictorial manual.

    The manual has many very clear photos and detail mods for the AMC block. It lays out three stages of modifications with plenty of photo on each stage and mods. Very worth the price of the manual.

    Give him a call 541-973-7449
