I am buying the ARP main stud kit from Summit ARP-234-5608 but I cannot seem to find the side studs/bolts. I used to have them bookmarked but Summit racing has them inexistent at the moment. Suggestions?

the part in question is "Main Studs, 4-Bolt, 10mm Side Studs Only, Chevy, 4.8/5.3/5.7/6.0L, Kit"
ARP-234-5608-SB

Ill get it for you when I get home.

 

I was under the impression that the stock ones were used, thats what i did with mine.

 

Same here .. THe side cannot be studded because if the way they are installed.

I suppose they sould be ... but it would be kinda pointless to stud the side.

 

They arent studs they are 10(or12 cant remember right now)mm 12 point black oxide coated bolts and it comes with a 10mm 12 point pickup tube bolt also.

 

yea, that's why they don't come with the main stud ARP kit but I can't find the part number for it.

 

No need for having ARP cross-bolts. They are only torqued to 18ft-lb and the stress they endure is minimal. Reuse the stock ones.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Thats true they arent tq'ed to much but thay arent seeing a tensile pull like the mains are they are seeing a torsional pull therefore a much harder bolt will have less torsional deflection then a stocker. While I dont feel they are really necessary for the 26ish bucks they cost, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 

I like to be warm and fuzzy, Cody, where do you think I could find the bolts? If i'm going to spend ~$500 in bolts for this build, the extra 25 for these won't be a problem
