    Looking to buy a lifter valley girdle very soon.
    I know TA sells them for the 455.
    Is there any other company's that sell a quality girdle besides TA?
    When I get ready to purchase, will also ask in PARTS WANTED section.
    Its probably a item that's not often
    resold.
    Thanks. Richard...

    TA lifter girdle is the only one I’ve ever seen other than epoxy.

    I have a complete TA lifter girdle. I had a custom girdle made
    For block,so I won’t be using the TA.
    Sorry,I don’t a 413 cam. It’s in an engine that should be picked up this week.

    Some before,during,and after pictures WOULD have been better because this does not show everything under the main bar. There are triangular plates fitted between each lifter bore,prefer to the main bar,welded,then filled with epoxy in between the plates,yet still have oil drain back.

    Brian. What's your asking price for the TA GIRDLE.
    minus freight?
    So. I have several options. Its all about price now. Ben has one.
    I read there's some fab work to fit it?
    Brian. Can I get a pic? If not. No biggie.
    Im sure they all look the same.

    OK. I had considered selling the block as a package and starting a Tomahawk. Machined block with main girdle,lifter girdle,partial fill. Probably just finish it and start the next.

    Brian. Please PM me a price on the new TA extra girdle you have.
    I know freight will be extra.
    Im gonna pull the tiger on somones now. .just can't wait.
    Its like Christmas..
    If the block with the custom girdle is .030 over. Bore of avg. 4.343. 1975 to 76. Or no drastic core shift. Ide consider. Im not 100% happy with my 73 block. The 75 looks as good as I've ever seen.
    Shoot me a price and your address
    For pick up.
    Price pending, bore and location. Ect. for purchase.
    I have access to a machined block in Georgia with the same bore.
    Also my machinist says he can get a
    75 to 76 std. block that can be worked.
    I've made the Georgia drive already to pick up a stroker crank kit.
    The TA block is top of the line.
    I hope everything works out for
    Kenny on the new cast block.
    Last I herd its looking good.
    Im on the list.

    Richard,
    The block is outside of Cleveland Ohio,so not sure if you want to drive. I’d have to see what I have in it to get it where it is at this point.
