The Speedmaster PCE288.1013 is an anodized aluminum main girdle engineered for Ford small-block 289 and 302 Windsor engines. This main girdle serves as a critical reinforcement component that bolts to the engine block around the main bearing saddles, providing additional structural support and clamping force to the crankshaft centerline.
Constructed from anodized aluminum, this girdle offers corrosion resistance and a clean, finished appearance while maintaining the strength required for engine block stability. As a girdle-only unit (main caps not included), it is designed for builders who already have their main caps in place or sourced separately. The anodized finish protects against oxidation in both street and performance engine applications, making it suitable for restorations, street engines, and moderate performance builds. This component is essential for engines requiring improved main bearing clamping and block rigidity.
Key Features & Benefits
