Is there any reason why you can't drill and tap the 7/16" bolt holes in a 69 or earlier AMC v8 block to fit the 70' and later 1/2" headbolts?
I've seen other options, like a bushing or shim to resize the holes in the heads to fit the smaller 7/16" bolts, but that doesn't resolve the potential problem of the weaker head bolt in a higher HP engine.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.
