The clamping force of our studs is far superior that the stock bolts......buying bolts at a hardware store won't be any cheaper than a stud kit....and surely not as good.... That is if you can even find the proper lengths.
I've also got stock bolts if the budget is that strict....give me a call.
Our company name is Ross Racing Engines because of the world we come from ,and the fact that we are custom builders......doesn't mean we don't supply stock or street parts and engines.
