main girdle info

I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. was just asking why would it be any different reg. bolt head or nut ??

buy the way.. nice block

so then what is the reasoning to have two diff style fasteners on the caps ? ....from what i read the allen head can be a superior fastener in most applications ......

the reason for the bolts is room they are very close to the center part of the cap and they are splayed.

OK. I see why Nick asked the ?. but now I have one. why is the allen head better for torque.. just trying to learn something new.

it aint.it's no better than the bolt in the center and should'nt be any trouble to torque.most allen bolts are better grade than your parts store grade 5 stuff but not automotive bolts.

the Eliminator premier has 12 point head A1 outer bolts

True, but...........the PREMIER block is 2 steps up from the ULTRA.

how so?the website claims the ultra is a premier with cast caps.

The progression is: ULTRA ( with cast nodular iron caps), ULTRA (with billet steel caps), PREMIER (with billet steel caps).
