im in the progress of getting my new sbo 355 ready to install in the car. While working on it, i recognized that on the drivers side theres the studded head bolt missing, which i need for the alternator bracket. The engine has the "regular" ARP Head bolts installed all around.
My (maybe stupid) question now is:
can i just swap this one ARP bolt with the stock studded head bolt from my current engine?
Just swap this one ARP bolt with the stock studded head bolt. I did that with a new ones from Ebay. They appears as good as the originals. But not as strong as ARP. I did both sides for A/C also. Called ARP about 6 years ago, to see if had or could make a bolt with stud. Would need to make hundreds of them. At a few bucks apiece.
