engine limit strap location?

[Jim Comet]

How do you all feel about me attaching my engine torque limit strap to this hole on my aluminum heads. Is there any concern about cracking the bolt hole? should I build a bracket that attaches to both the bolt holes on the front of the head and attach my limiter to that? The car has a 5500 converter and will launch on slicks so it may be tested. I love not having shock towers. I just installed the passenger side header in 20 minutes and the drivers should take about the same. Jim

Yes, make a bracket that uses both bolts.  Use Heim joints on either end.  Never has hurt my junk.

I agree with Blair

Nearly same setup in some iron heads, been running that way for years without problems.  Heim ends make it nicer, mine are build from 3/8 all thread with a hardware store aluminum screen door adjuster and some lock nuts.

I use the same bolt hole for over 20 years on my aluminum heads

I used this hole also for 20 years on my Edelbrock Heads although my strap is bushed at the bottom (leaf spring bush). Can be seen in this pic.
