Hi Rouse
Had two friends that worked the Milodon nite shift welding up those main cap girdles, as he sold a bunch of them for keeping the crank in the block.
You also needed a knoched pan to match the gasket rails.

Those folks at Milodon had a lot of good stuff for the old early hemi's. I ran a girdle early on and later they had 4 bolt main kits that we went with. Made the pan a lot simpler, but with the heavy clutches we ran, it didn't help much for the rear main. I not sure how many time I pulled the pan and found the rear main cap spit in half. Never hurt the bearing or crank (?), don't ask me why so we'd find another rear main cap and bolt it in.
In the early sixties Papa Jack Roberts in his old dodge "Green Machine", along with Jim Short and Karol Miller in their Fords, Left out of Angleton, Texas and drove to Bonneville (1,830 Miles), raced their cars and drove
back home. Papa Jack ran as fast as 156+ on the salt with his daily driver, early Hemi in the old Green Machine.
