Title: I'm having some on-block piston stops made....THEY ARE HERE
Post by: blykins on December 07, 2020, 08:49:00 AM
I haven't looked too awfully hard, but I haven't found a bolt-on piston stop that would reach from one head bolt hole to the other on a Ford. 

I'm making these out of aluminum, they will be black hard anodized, and will come with all necessary hardware, including a center set screw with jam nut and (2) 1/2-13 bolts and washers for clamping. 

These will work with FE's, SBF's, and 385 series engines.

Price would be $29 each plus shipping.

Summit lists one that spans 6.25" for $12.99.  I haven't measured the bolt spacing, but if that works, that price is hard to compete with.  Joe-JDC

Joe, FE's/385 series engines are a tick over 6.500", plus the 385 engines have 9/16" diameter head bolt holes.

Maybe anodized Blue, then your logo machined?

I have a piece of 1"x2" hard oak with holes drilled in the right spots, and a big rounded bolt in the middle as a stop. Cost was about 20 minutes of work. If the piston has a dome, then a few washers work. If you're bending a piece of 1" oak while hitting the stop, you need to stop taking steroids, or wait until the wife isn't nagging you...lol

No logo.  No legend. 

I ordered 25.  They should be here around the end of the month.  I'll let everyone know when they're here.

I take Paypal, credit card, any way you want to pay.  As soon as they pass inspection, I will post here and we can go from there.

I bought one of these.

If I can make one suggestion, put a 1/2" threaded hole on either side of the set screw to store the bolts and washers. I plan on doing this to mine. Those little short bolts are easy to loose when you don't use it very often.
