Not a bad idea on the screens......just in case..or any other stuff from falling down there....like lash caps, broke rockers and such.

Something similar used to be done on "B" blocks so Hemi Heads could be used on them...



The "B" block I saw was at Bartons, looked like the bosses were brass welded (brazed) on.

I think I still have that magazine article covering Charlie Malyuke's modifications--if I remember correctly, he used a silicon-bronze weld process.




I am sure it will hold since them extra Studs/Nuts are only going to be torqued to 45lbs. You only need enough so you don't pop a lung!!




They may hold up to the 45 pounds of torque but how about the pressure when he puts the boost to it and the heads try to lift off the block?


If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

Even if the lugs would break, they should stay on the bolt. Maybe a little loctite? I welded one of my iron heads, and the weld was to tough, the machinist couldn't cut it. I had to use a grinding stone myself to machine it.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

The bolt is stretched to tension, just like a rod bolt, which is exerting most of it's elastic force already, if put onder much more stress, then the bolt will fail.

I think a key factor will be whether or not the blocks are high enough to be machined flush to the deck. If they sit even slightly below the deck then torquing the bolts will put undue stress on them. If they're machined flush then they'll only be pulled up against the gasket/head.
