Just a ?

Post by mo96par »

I don't have -- and probably never will have a $$hemi$$, but I find them fascinating. Anyway, I read about the development of the 426 and they talked about a problem because the '5 bolt heads' had a bolt where they needed the valve (pushrod?) to go. They solved it by 'bringing the bolt up from the bottom'

Does anyone have a clue as to what they did there.

Thanks!

Actually, the bolt went right where the intake port was so the head itself was threaded for the bolt and the bolt came up from underneath through a boss cast into the side of the lifter valley.
