I'm pretty sure I have an old Mustang mag from many years ago talking about girdles as the new thing. The main goal was to prevent cap walk because 8.2 blocks don't have enough main webbing to install retrofit 4 bolt caps. Somewhere along the line, people started the rumor that girdles were to prevent blocks from splitting.

I was always under the impression that a girdle would only keep everything together when it split , therefore saving parts from destruction, at no point did i ever think slapping a girdle on a stock 5.0 block would help it be stronger , 5.0 stock block is a stock block no way around that . Girdle is more of a saftey measure i would think

Never understood why people never just buy aftermarket blocks before sink money into the stock block.
