Product Details

Made from 6061-T6 aluminum, this solid bar stud girdle set is designed for 7/16" stud Ford 351 Cleveland engines, specifically those with Ford Motorsport heads. The primary job of a stud girdle is to tie the rocker arm studs together, preventing them from flexing or moving under load.

The red anodized finish not only looks good but also adds a layer of durability to the lightweight aluminum construction.

This kit includes everything you need to get the job done: hex head adjusting nuts, interlocking set screws, and all necessary hardware. It’s a well-built component that offers a solid option for anyone rebuilding or modifying the top end of their Ford 351 Cleveland engine.
