ANy one know this part? converts centerbolt ValveCovers to standard bolts pattern

I wanna run a stud girddle so i cant run my stock centerbolt VC. The guy that is doing me heads say that GM makes a "frame" deal that bolts into the centerbolt holes and allows you to use Std valve covers....anyone know where to get on?

I guess i could have somepne weld and tap them but i though this maybe easyer

If you got an old summit book look at it. They had one for about half price as the one I last saw. I remember that the part # was one # different from the new one. Maybe go to there website and find the part # if change the last # either up or down. All I remember for sure is it was almost the same thing just half price. Alan

I'm only aware of a few companies who make girdles for the centerbolt heads.
Moroso is the one I'm most familiar with..... 3/8" stud (#67040) and 7/16 stud (#67045). Don't have a price on either of those as they're in my Moroso catalog. Keep in mind that any girdle made for the Vortec head will work so just do a little shopping around.
