I'm having some on-block piston stops made....THEY ARE HERE
« 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.

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'll keep this thread as a record.   When they show up, I'll post a pic and I'll get them all shipped out.
