I'd love to ask those idiots why they went to studs and guide plates.

Oh wait, I know the answer. It's cheaper.

It isn't better. Virtually no one uses studs any more. In spite of the fact that Crower (IIRC) developed the "ball stud" 383 and someone else did a "ball stud" Hemi that were a bust.

The GM freaks spent years trying to prove shaft rockers aren't needed. Now, you can't hardly find anyone with the IQ above a toaster using studs on any type of performance application.
