*** IN STOCK SHIPS TODAY *** This support has been designed to minimize the bending stress imposed on the snout of the crankshaft caused by harmonics and/or driving a supercharger. Few people realize just how much a crankshaft can distort during harmonics, or that supercharger belt load can be in excess of 3000 pounds when detonation occurs.

With the supercharger belt pulling the crank snout upwards and the first two piston and rod assembles pressing downward, this area of the crankshaft is in need of some additional support. By adding a crank snout support, in essence a sixth main bearing, the vulnerable unsupported snout has less chance of bending and breaking. Race engines, especially those prone to detonation are the applications most in need of this support.

The aluminum bracket and stand assembly that hold the front bearing mounts to the front gear drive cover. Kits includes mounting plates, stands, bearing and mounting hardware.

RBS can set up the crank support to be used with crank trigger at an additional cost if desired. Fits RCD LS gear drives with crank support wing provisions. Crank supports are designed for competition use and have no provision for an alternator.

Bracket assm. sticks 4.875" of the front of the gear drive cover and is 13.00" wide at the top of the bracket.
