Product Details

If you're working on the valvetrain of a Ford 429 or 460 big block, especially with production heads and 7/16" rocker studs, a stud girdle is a smart addition. This component from COMP Cams ties your rocker arm studs together, helping to keep them properly located under the stress of engine operation. This is particularly important when you're rebuilding the top end or making modifications that increase valve spring pressure.

This particular stud girdle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps the weight down while the red anodizing adds a layer of durability and a distinct look. It's a solid bar design, meaning it's a single, strong piece that connects the studs. The kit comes complete with everything you need to get it installed, including hex head adjusting nuts, interlocking set screws, and all the necessary hardware, making it a straightforward upgrade for your engine.

This COMP Cams stud girdle is designed to fit a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s, including popular models like the Ford F-Series trucks and Lincoln Continental. It's a well-built piece that offers a practical improvement for your engine's valvetrain stability.
