Looking for part numbers for ARP studs to secure 86 - 87 model 3.8SFI front-wheel-drive heads onto a stock 3.8 block. This block is an 87 model and has the recessed threads in the deck.
I have the engine together as a "mock up" doing some turbo exhaust plumbing fabrication so I hate to disasemble it just to measure the stud dimensions.
I'm hoping someone else has done a conversion and took notes on ARP part numbers or stud dimensions! (please!)
If not I will pull a head and measure.
With these heads, the 4 studs along the outer edge are very short, and the center 2 under the valve cover are longer than those for the stock GN heads.
Thanks in advance!
