well it dose not if you want steel guids then yes you need to cut them down if it is a stock head and you want steel guid plates if not stock then you need studs with a shoulder to hold the guid plates down and some guys go to a 7/16 BBC for a better stud and you can get the rockers for the bigger studs i have cut the sbc chevys and olds and Ford and drill them for it is about 125up from the spot face of the head bolt or so for the sbc for plates
