8)jay, ive been having to re machine two milodon hemis for 1 of my business partners two willys and reproduce the head studs .but in the process im also cutting the pan rail section off a FE block all the way to the cap registers and will drill the head bolt holes all the way thru and using the head studs to hold the main girdle to the block alonge with the main studs.Similar to milodons block design,this way I will quit driving over the rotating assembly on the ground and hopefuly be able to make more boost with twin turbos or NOS.i can make the studs and machine the block if you want to try and make the girdle,it can be billet and be plenty strong for my design.
