351C Head Pedestal Milling Kit

[bsprowl]

I would like to buy (or borrow) the kit that does this.  I had one but can't find it to loan to a friend.

I'd be looking at something like this - make a 3/8 pilot with a 5/16 thread to stand in the pedestal.  Unless someone has one, the old Crane item doesn't seem available.  Comp has apparently consumed all the Crane items.

That said - without a guided cutter, I'd take it to a shop.  It's way too easy to miss the angle and end up with a rocker stud that is off axis.  Yea, it's expensive - why using old iron heads is not such a thing anymore.
