The teacher of my machining class told us to start thinking about projects to make when we get the mandatory projects done, and I was thinking I could make a stud girdle for my 302, but I do not know exactly how they work. Do they use special polylocks or something so that they don't hit the rockers? Does someone have a picture of one of these installed on a motor, preferably a sbf that they could post. I think I could easily make one with Tek-soft and the cnc machine. Draw it up, and machine it out. I have a head at home that I could take my measurements from, but I need to know exactly how they mount and stay there. Thanks for any help, Brandon.P.S. When I finally get my engraving done, on my aircleaner I will have steve post a pic for you guys to see. Could be this spring before the final run is done on the air cleaner though, until then it's top secret!  ------------------

They use an extra long poly lock or if it's a Chevoso cheapie, a really stupid screw driver slotted nut.------------------
