It's a very special crank that has a different stroke for each pair of cylinders. Frankly, I'm skeptical.:cool: |

That sounds cool. I have a friend that is putting in one of these little jobbies, so please post some pics of whatever it is you're using on that FE.

The one I have is a little different as it touches all 5 main caps and then uses the oil pan bolts to help secure it as well. It's a full girdle and pretty much encapsulates the entire bottom end of the block. The oil pan bolts to it.
I normally don't really care much for girdles, but on an FE, where the block is skirted, I think it adds a great bit of strength.
