WTB: 4g64 Main Girdle 7 bolt

[MorningWood]

Long story short, bought a 2.4 block 1.5 years ago, finally got around to getting it machined annnnnnnd its the wrong main girdle. The machine shop already bored the block so I'd like to hopefully find a girdle if anyone has one laying around. I'd even be interested in a bare 2.4 block as long as its a 7 bolt

How is it not the right girdle? How did they say it was wrong?

[MorningWood]

It's shifted really bad to one side and the main bores are about an 1/8th inch or so off. They said even line boring it won't make it usable

[dsmreck]

This may sound dumb but did u turn it around? Pretty sure that all 7 bolt girdles are the same.

[MorningWood]

The main bores aren't close either, its definitely not the right girdle, its probably for a 6 bolt or something

[DSMINMN]

6 bolts used individual caps so that isn't a possibility.

[MorningWood]

Oh. Well I have no clue then, the machine shop just said it isn't the right one. The overhang is pretty bad

That seems very odd to me.. I know I've put one on backwards before and noticed it instantly. lol I suppose it could be a '63/'64 difference.

Could be a 4g63 7 bolt girdle? Just a thought, I've never owned anything but 2.0 4g63's

[MorningWood]

It's definitely not backwards but yeah it could be a 63 girdle on there.

[dsmreck]

i'm saying 63 and 64 are the same thing. the only issue i had was my windage tray which i think 3 lined up and had to re drill the 4th one

Are the girdles different between the original and revised split thrust 7 bolts?

[dsmreck]

i would assume the girdles are different as the split girdle will accept the thrust bearings

I would post a picture, but my computer died and I can't copy the IMG link with my phone
