The block will need to be align honed for the new girdle/hardware. Provide the crank you intend to use and the machine shop will be able to determine clearances and bearing choices.

put the griddle on, torque everything to spec, check clearance.
you could just get away without line boring

The Golden Eagle Kit is just a 3 point girdle and the kit cost almost as much as our 5point main girdle kit. You can also see a picture of ours on our web-site http://www.erlperformance.com. You can not just bolt these things on and torque them down and then just run it like that. If you want it to last then it needs to be aligned honed after the girdle is installed and we have had only success with ACL bearings. We can handle all of this for you. Just look at our girdle on our web-site and you will see why we are so proud of it. They come with a custom set of ARP studs. Great price

Yes our girdle bolts right up to the LS mains but I want to say that you need to have us or your machine shop align hone it after you install it. They retail at 500.00 w/stud kit. Remember it's a 5 point main girdle not a 3 point.
