Drill.jpg (54035 bytes)  These are S+S heads and rocker boxes and unlike stock heads there are no studs to fasten the boxes. They are fastened with bolts a much better design.
Drilling.jpg (80363 bytes) I'm counter boring the rocker box bolt holes for socket head screws. This will give a much cleaner look to the top of the motor.
RecesScew.jpg (73306 bytes) The finished counter bore. When this is done I can send the boxes out for chrome.
