Edelbrock Head Stud Kit Ford Flathead Edelbrock Head 1938-48

When you're rebuilding the top end of your classic Ford Flathead, especially with Edelbrock heads, you need fasteners that can handle the job. This Edelbrock Head Stud Kit (part #8505) is designed specifically for 1938-48 Ford Flathead engines when fitted with Edelbrock cylinder heads like their #1125, #1126, #1127, or #1128 models. What you get in this kit are the studs, hardened stainless steel washers, and polished stainless acorn nuts, giving you that real vintage look while ensuring a solid connection.

These aren't just any bolts; they're cold-formed to maintain molecular integrity and then heat-treated before the threads are rolled and machined. This process helps ensure they're strong and reliable. The studs are rated at 170,000 p.s.i., which is a strong rating for these types of fasteners. A notable feature is the reduced diameter of the bolt heads, which means you won't have to remove the valve train to re-torque the cylinder heads, making maintenance down the road a bit easier.

This kit is a well-built option for your Flathead build, offering both the necessary strength and the classic aesthetic you're looking for. It's designed to fit a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 1930s through the early 1950s, including models like the Ford F-1 Pickup or Mercury Monterey.
