Stud Girdle and Centerbolt Valve Covers?
Is anyone aware of a stud girdle kit that works with centerbolt valve covers?
Thanks,

We used to run Vortec heads on a dirt car, and we had to get the adapters for perimeter valve covers for this reason. that was many years ago when the Vortec first came out, perhaps someone has come up with something else by now.

Wow. That oughtta be some trick. The last engine I used with stud gordles was an old ('70s) block and heads, and I still had to use taller, unbafflerd covers for clearance. I can;t even imagine how one might fit center bolt cover over girdles.

I talked to my engine builder today, and he said he hasn't seen anything. centerbolt covers are so low to begin with, and he uses the adapters for perimeter vavle covers...

I heard that!
I had to swap out my exsisting talls with baffles to a set of talls with welded tubes for use with a Summit girdle.

I did find one!!! The Moroso #67040 says it will work with centerbolt head, BUT must be used with #68025 or 68026.
The bad news is the valve cover cost 350 bucks...There nice though.
Now, you might be able to use any TALL centerbolt valve cover???

Interesting. Thank you very much for the help. I have tall valve covers now I need to see if they will fit.
Much appreciated.
