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.

Mark me down for one.

I would like to purchase one also then I can pitch my length of ½" square steel bar stock.

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?

Put me down for one.

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.

blykins · « **Reply #21 on:** January 12, 2021, 05:47:09 PM »

They're here and they work. Ready to take orders.

Yep. Shoot me an email. brent@lykinsmotorsports.com

blykins · « **Reply #25 on:** March 13, 2021, 02:33:37 PM »

Got 5 of these left.

My427stang · « **Reply #26 on:** April 20, 2021, 09:05:34 AM »

Used one this week, very handy and well made. Thanks!

BigBlueIron · « **Reply #27 on:** April 20, 2021, 09:50:19 AM »

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.

6667fan · « **Reply #28 on:** May 18, 2021, 10:10:10 PM »

Have any left Brent?
