Seeing as I can think of at least 6 or7 different 7 bolt patterns for the exhaust side of a SBC head....what exactly are you talking about??

Factory from the mid-80's 7-bolt in-line, the 7-bolt Stahl pattern, the 7-bolt Hooker pattern, Brodix 18°, Alan Johnson, Pontiac SBC #867.....??

Plenty of aftermarket heads with factory 6-bolt also have cast provision to drill to a 7-bolt pattern....

So what exactly are you ranting about....??

I think the Buick sbc had 7 also.
