Legal Ford 5.0 head with screw in studs

also under the cylinder heads section it says:

"The following are permitted: polylocks, jam nuts, screw-in larger diameter rocker studs, or pinned studs..."

I'm finishing up a stocker 5.0 Mustang. Using stock rockers, not rollers, would you say that screw-in studs are legal? I'm getting conflicting feedback on this.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Screw in studs are legal if they screw into the original 5/16" course thread holes in the pedastal. I assume that is not the answer you were looking for. I confronted Bruce with this topic a couple years ago.
