Manufactured from Gator’s proprietary HD220 alloy, these main studs deliver industry-leading tensile strength of over 220,000 PSI—far surpassing OEM and aftermarket alternatives—to provide superior clamping force and bottom-end security for both stock and performance builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is currently the only main stud kit designed specifically for the Ford IDI platform. Each kit is compatible with or without a girdle kit, making it ideal for custom engine builds.
