Hello everyone!

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 it an tight it to spec?



Thanks a lot for every help!

 

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.

 

X2...swap it out, not a problem.

Good luck!!!

 

Thanks a lot for your answers! Thats what im gonna do. Thats exactly what i hoped to read!
