Valley Girdle Pro

I seen it on an episode of horsepower tv today and was wondering if it would really help a 302 block hold together

Does nothing. Your intake braces the block in the same manner.

302 s crack from the main saddles up to the lifter valley, so bracing the valley will not do anything for the block.

I laughed my ass off when those first came out. What a joke. Every engine has a valley girdle, its called an intake manifold.
