I got to looking for a stud girdle for my little 153 project. I was going to buy a six cylinder kit and cut it down, but they're going for $180.00 and more. Got to wondering if a girdle from an SBC would work and took my new four banger head and laid it down beside one of my new heads for my 406 Small Block project! Lo and behold, they're the same spacing!! Only difference is the rocker arm ratio!! You can buy a good SBC stud girdle kit for a little over $120.00 including shipping!!

If I ever do another six cylinder Chevy, I'll by the V8 kit and bob one section off of each bar!! That extra $60.00 bucks will buy a set of push rod guides or something!!
