Has anyone ever seen or heard of the actual bottom end of the block breaking. Not talking about rods or crank, but the block itself. I have to wonder about the need for a bottom end girdle.

Conversely, we all know that the SBF under rediculously high horsepower levels can split down the middle from the top down. Someone is now making Valley girdles to prevent this, but thus far they are only for small block Chevys. I saw it in either Summit or Jegs.
