Well I was just going to reuse the inner bolts, is that ok?

I never thought of it that way! Well here is my thought though, the dsg kit only comes with the three outer studs, which as I found out are $6.65 a piece, plus the nuts and washers come in ten packs so I might as well do all ten outer holes, if i buy the dsg kit, I would still need 4 studs so...

Hello again, ANOTHER update :) So I was able to round up some part #s for the studs: AU4.900-1LB: These are for the inner main bolt holes, $7.86 a piece AU4.175-1LB: These are for the outers. They MAY be a little long, but this is the shortest ARP has on hand in what we need. If they are...

Anyone have a block handy to take some quick measurements for me??? These would be for an earlier block with the 12mm main bolts inside and outside. The cap has no counterbore, correct? I would need these measurements for the OUTSIDE bolt: -Thickness of cap from top to bottom (where outside...

Ok thanks buddy!!

bump anyone know what thread goes into the block for the cooler lines?? I am also searching for a place to get metric studs as well this week. I just emailed ARP today, I might talk to Milodon tomorrow.

Agreed :) I have a single action TM style on my VGT, with double nuts on the other side to prevent the spring from pulling the vane ring too far into what seems to be the exhaust brake position, but I would like to see what you have turbonator, it probably works better than what I have :) To...

Alright so a bit of an update/bump I guess. I did check on that crank, and sure enough it was a cast crank. The plan so far is studs and filler. Kory got a 6.2 motor a week or so ago and he is tearing it apart this week. Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to take a look at the...

There are lots of options out there if you are willing to do some extra work. The ATT is a great choice as well since it is bolt on and go and is surely a big improvement. Personally, I recently installed an HE351VE Holset VGT of a 6.7 Cummins. NOT a bolt on, it takes a lot of work to do. I did...

Haha yeah I figured brakes were somewhat universal, so the fittings and lines would be similar. OK so I got the steering figured out, now I need to start finding parts haha. Are those custom steering arms made from aluminum? I see what you mean about the flex though, it would flex up and...

OK so I was looking through your pictures again. So the steering is a dropped pitman arm, a draglink from the pitman arm to the custom steering arm on the passenger side (which is a tierod shortened and retapped), and then a tierod from the custom steering arm on passenger side to the custom...

I guess I will have to try to find some stiffer springs for up front, that's no big deal. Haha well I think my front shocks are shot and I have the torsion bars cranked up too high so it rides terribly :) I don't blame it on the truck, its me. The thing actually skips and hops over manholes in...

Thank you for the clarification! You make a good point about the uptravel. Although I do not off road, or at least in terrain like some of your pictures, I would imagine you would need a few inches of uptravel just for everyday driving. How does the stock set up on 80s trucks perform though? I...

Hey thanks! Although the idea of keeping everything GM really appeals to me, it looks like fabbing up the linkage for the different t-case looks like a real PITA, although I applaud what you did there it looks very professional, I don't think I could ever fab up a system like that. I am leaning...

Hello all! I have been reading up on this recently (like Jamie's thread) and I have a few questions. I would like to solid axle swap my 92. However, I am on a VERY tight budget, I have a few questions for you guys. If I find the axle at a good price, I will probably do the project, which...

oh really? I will check the listing again but you are likely correct, its actually on there for 300, which seemed like a really good deal to me haha. I am not going to spend $300 to get "marginally" better haha, thanks I will check! I had a feeling hardened bolts weren't made that way since I...

Well I am not sure what the difference would be between USD and Canadian prices from ARP (unless those quotes are USD), but I would imagine they are not that much different. I am all for studding this thing but that is too much for my budget. Now here is my question, there are four bolts per...

here it is.... http://www.milodon.com/head-bolts-studs/main-studs.asp

ugh I kinda wanna do the scat too.... I need to stop talking to you guys :) Anyways I have not been able to look into the ARP main studs yet but I did find another brand that seems to be ok. I was looking a little bit on the ARP catalog as to why they are "the best" and it mentions being...

Haha ok thank you guys!!! I was freaking myself out thinking I messed up somehow. Anyways it was crazy how fast these water pumps go out and how bad. It went bad almost instantaneously as I didn't do that much driving that day and wow I couldn't believe the play in the thing when I took it out...
