Ford Main Support
Auto manufacturers started using weaker engine block castings as early as the late 1970's in an effort to reduce costs and save weight. They were able to do this without problems thanks to increasing smog regulations causing decreased horsepower ratings. While these stock blocks hold up just fine when putting out 220 horsepower, they cannot go racing.
Canton's Ford main supports counter the limited webbing and weakness of the stock blocks. They help to "beef up " your lower end by reinforcing the alignment of the main caps. Each support is laser cut from 1/2" (2300 & 302) or 5.8" (351W & 460) steel and features CNC machined mounting holes and rod notches for stroke clearance. Canton's design ties directly to the main caps and doesn't need bushings or spacers or require the main caps to be machined to mount it. All mounting bolts and washers are included. Main supports are pre-drilled to accept the mounting of Canton's optional louvered windage tray.
Pickups specially designed for using main supports in rear sump applications are listed with the oil pans that require them in our oil pan section. |
