Royce     What main studs did you use? I'm trying to get studs for a Ted style girdle set-up, but other than gr8 threaded rod, I'm coming up empty handed. I've e-mailed ARP a few times and get useless replies....   Me on the phone with Milodan tech.."Can you help with some main stud thread lengths"?   "Yeah,1.2 or so each end".   Click...dial tone.    Barry L

Barry, I ordered mine direct from ARP. You need to measure the length of stud you need and they will match it up for you call them direct forget about email. I don't remember the exact length I ordered. Put a main cap in the block then measure the length of a stock main bolt. Now measure from the main cap up to the pan rail. add 3/8 of an inch for thickness of the girdle. That gives you the length you would need for a bolt. Now add 3/4 inch for threads on the stud and you should have it.

 Thanks Royce,   Forgot to say super nice work on that engine. Have you booked  dyno time yet?   with JC in Minneapolis?  can I invite myself again?    Barry
