block gridle???
hey I have a ls block and Im butting a vtec head on it but I wanted to install a gridle. IM not shure in what to get. I think I need a b-series gridle, mains windage tray, and oil pick up right? im not to shure abought the oil pan though. the main thing im really unshure abought is what barings to get for the mains. right now I have the crank out and was gonna put all new barings in but do I get the same ones I would get for the Ls mains? please help only if you really know!

golden eagle makes a girdle that is a direct fit with dowl pins and you will have too use a gsr windage tray and a gsr oil pan for it too fit right.
as for bearings i like acl bearings and way cheaper than honda bearings do a search on earl he seels them and may give you a good deal

to make the gsr girlde work with the ls block you will need the gsr girdle, the mains and bolts that go with it(2,3,4). you will need a gsr oil pick up, windage tray and oil pan. for the main bearings i think all b series main bearings are the same. if anyone thinks any of this is incorrect please let me know because i plan on doing the same except i just bought a bare ls block and i have the gsr internals to go into it including the girdle.

Her is the link to the Golden Eagle Girdle kit. The kit has everything you need but the oil pan. You can just get an ACL bearing kit for a b18a/b since you will be reusing the LS mains. Your mains may have to be align bored though.<(I didn't know that so, I'll be looking more into that.) Hope that helped.

There was some recent discussion about this here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=988468
Also, there are some good links in that thread with more girdle info for you.
Look into the Endyn piece, I run one and it's good quality.

The bearings are the same as the LS if you are running LS crank and rods. We use and supply ACL with good success. The ERL Performance girdle tie all 5 mains like the F23 and K series blocks,not just the center 3, and fits under a GSR pan. All the girdles I've seen require a GSR oil pan and pick-up.
