Purdy, yes you can use the longer ignition stud but what about the outlet? There are no offerings for a longer stud.
Again, I don't mind a thicker casting but if that is the case offer longer bolts to compensate. The regular customer might not care about how many threads show but for judging guys it must be correct.
Milling the bottom casues problems with pistons hitting the head as there is minimal clearance there already. I ran Brumfield heads with grade 8 suds at 60 lbs and never had any problems with a stock Fel-Pro 7013-C
Gasket. The studs can take more but not the 70+ year old blocks.
