For those who might be considering studs...
I've had my engine at the shop for a month or so. I've been trying to find out how much studs would cost. Well I got a partial answer today. The guy at ARP said the measurements for my head studs are different than the ones in the 6.2 stud kit that's available for ~$160. I don't know what's different, but he gave me a part number and a price. $439 for 34 studs, washers, and nuts. Part number for the studs is au4.900-1lb
I had a fax in to ARP's custom order dept for the mains, which would have to be custom, but I just sent another fax to cancel my request.
$800 for studs is just too steep for my blood. I can't imagine the custom studs being less than $400 for the 20 of them.
I asked the shop to put my engine together with the old main bolts and the new head bolts I already gave them.
$800 for bolts. :mad2:
I'd rather buy myself a CMP Garand and a few hundred rounds of ammo, thank you very much.
