Can anyone point me in the right direction for some main studs.
I need head studs and main studs. I found studs for the head from ARP that part# is 218-4703.
But now I am in search for a set of main studs.
 
I didn't think about this earlier but would the stock bolts be fine for what I am doing?
List of what im doing.
Hardpipes
BOV
Air intake
Pope exhaust manifold
Wiseco Pistons .40mm
Forged Rods
Air intake Manifold
Head is being resurfaced and bored w/valve job
 
Stock bolts will work fine. There is no 'need' for ARP hardware, some people just like to spend money
 
I thought the main studs were torque to yield and could only be used once...might as well spend a couple extra dollars to upgrade if you have to buy new bolts anyway, and at least the arp studs would be reusable.
 
Head bolts can be reused if they are within spec but most people don't. You can get head bolts for $40 vs studs for over 100
