Stud Mount vs. Ped. Mount

[DFG 5OH]

HA ...... HA ...... HA

I said that once upon a time about a set of self poted E7's I now got just laying around in the garage

"and be done with it"

That was exactaly what I said when I was porting the E7's

Lets tell the truth about what we ALL want from our combos ...........

just a little more

ok...FOR NOW i'll be using the irons...hopefully add a blower later on.

I totally agree that you should probably save your money till you have aluminum heads as Grady has already said. However, something that you might consider is that if you want to run a decent cam, not the totally sissy cams that most guys run, in the .550 lift range you are gonna want studs to help fight valve float.

What exactly IS a sissy cam? .550" isn't?

I would not consider running a cam that is less than .550. Pretty much every cam on the Faq is pretty mild as is your TFS 1. It is not to say that they can not make power or are without their merits, but I would skip straight to the big rectangle.

summit has a kit that crane sells to convert pedestal heads to stud mount rockers for 99$...... look it up, check it out, and figure out what you want to do,


but yeah machining heads for stud mount rockers is pricey.....not worth it, i had to make that decision on my ported heads....
