Saw the beast yesterday and I must say, what a cool car! Hearing the weight of the motor cracked me up (freakin' heavy!) and the difference from Ford to Caddy flathead was pretty cool! While I was standing there talking to (I believe Bored and Stroked) about pushing out head gaskets and other weird issues, I asked what size head studs he was running. I know guys who have run fuel in BBC motors and stepped up from the 1/2" studs for more clamping force, so I can't see how this motor can hold anything from moving around with 7/16" studs! The car is awesome and I love the concept, but if there's room I'd stuff 1/2" studs in there at the very LEAST! Just my opinion guys... see you on the salt!
