The 36 heads have a water pump mount at the front of each head, When flipped over,they take up some space. A machinist can make a simple mounting fixture utilizing 4 stanchions at the furthest corners off the stud bosses welded on a flat 3/4" plate/remnant, Drill and tap the plate in order to provide a mounting for a 7/16" NC stud (of the desired length) at the 1st and 4th plug boss,then bolt through the spark hole with a shallow nut, It will need stabilization though on the corners as well as the mid section or a vibration will/may occur.

I can't post a pic, but you're welcome to shoot me a email and I'll try to get you a pic of how we @ Cyclone Racing Equipment/Cook's Machine Works did/do it since back late 30's.

Cool Hand( I can anderstand how someone gave you that name) Giving credit where credit is due. I screwed up, my appoligies to Engine-Pro who did a great post. ***us who is also from Minnesota offered a neat, well thought out solution to the problem. Thanks. The reason for the surfacing is I welded a few spots on the face of a head. Yes I have measured how much I can take off. Thanks to all.

reminds me of the time i took a pair of 8ba heads in to be resurfaced--they asked me what kind of tractors they where from . i grabbed the heads and made a quick exit.
