This is for my 383 LE2 w/ 4 bolt splayed caps setup. I decided to purchase an ARP lt1 rebuild bolt kit in stainless......but I have a choice between 6pt and 12pt; are there any opinions on what ones I should get?!

I have learned to get ARP Head (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku) OR is this all I need (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...072494520&rd=1)

and Mains (to fit WITH windage tray? Do I want BOLTS or STUDS?)(http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku) .....are there any other bolts I should get while I am at it?

I think I am going to get locking header bolts as the headers on my 67' would always get loose with the stainless ARP ones I got in that rebuild kit. What do you guys think of these kind:

THANKS ---

ps. are these even the right setups for the lt1 and my combo?

 

What main caps do you have??

 

The Eagle 3-set ones. I got a post from Bret saying "ouch" and recommending ARP bolts....thats what started this thread actually, hahaha ---

 

Shoot me a e-mail i can probably dig up what you need.... it's a special bolt.

Which are the special bolts part ##?? I plan on using the same main caps for my build.

 

FYI, though you probably know this already: You have to have the caps installed with the same bolts/studs you will be using.

OK, well are there any advantages to either the 6 pt or 12 pt bolt setups? Does one strip more than the other?

Are either of those head bolts I posted the right ones for some le2 stock castings?

Anyone use those type of header bolts, OR recommend a good brand to get???

Thanks ---

 

so what was the part# for the arp studs for the eagle main caps??? I'm also interested.

 

Do I use the 6 bolts that came with the kit or are they crap? I guess I should just ask the place that sold the damn things to me, lmfao ---

BTW: I got Breslin header bolts, should work GREAT ---

 

As I said before the 6 that come with it are crap.
