Not any I have seen. I also looked in a couple of catologs. I think the reason is center bolt type heads are not really used by people who are going to be running cams that bend screw in studs.
I imagin that you could machine a stud girdle to clear the center screws.

This is what I have. Kind of over kill unless your making a motor for 8000 rpm. This uses the 7/16th ARP studs of the grade higher. I think 200K PSI.
Have you considered larger studs? I know that this also means new rockers for the bigger diameter
This Crane stud G is the best IMO I'm also using the taller ARP studs with .200 over pushrods because the heads require .100 over valve length.

The only set I've seen are these: http://www.melroset-tops.com/race.ht...igid%20System"
Look at the "Rigid System"
I don't have any experience with them, though.

This new forum sucks for pictures! You have to go to my forum web page for a writeup on my little motor. I did the home page a couple of years ago and never did much with it.
I'm proud of my my little thing I built in my garage:)
