Appreciate the tip. I was thinking about the doubling of gaskets. We will see how it goes.
The heads have been shaved and machined for larger valves. I knew the rocker studs were screw in but I didn't realize the tops were 3/8. Debating...
Is your camshaft solid or hydraulic? That's a pretty big camshaft. I'm assuming you used aluminum heads with the 7/16 rocker stud.
Got it thanks!!
Thanks for the tip on the converter, I like the feel of torque as well. Could you DM the info or person to speak to at Coane?
I've heard modifying the baffles will cause oil to back up. Got a old set of Powered by Ford valve covers I could use.

Just wanted to see what anyone may have experienced with a 3/8 screw in stud vs the 7/16. Will the 3/8 hold up when spinning up the RPM's. From...

Did some research to my surprise the 351W came with the 5/16 rocker stud which was a surprise to me. 390's are 3/8.
Just sharing the info, reached out to Comp Cams they do not offer a conventional rocker arm in 7/16 for the SBF. Not sure if anyone does, search...
Understood. I will get a straight edge and check, in this pic the top of the boss is even with the Valve cover edge. [ATTACH]
So the top of the boss needs to be machined down to run 7/16 hex screw studs with the steel stamped conventional rockers? My heads are stock 1965...
Got it, thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I thought there was machining that had to be done on the bosses to upgrade to 7/16. ARP has several rocker arm stud kits in...
No sir, haven't bought my rockers yet. I do have a set of used steel stamped for the 3/8 stud. I am leaning towards the 7/16 studs and call it a...

I forgot I had a dial caliper and I just measured several of my screw in studs. Basically I came up with .375 so they are 3/8's. My cam calls for...
Does anyone know how to identify/measure what screw in stud size I have on my heads. I want to order the correct rocker arms. Going with the "rail...
