I just want to put a tip or two here about these blocks, first one, while having or doing the machining on these castings I would recommend having the "missing" 5 holes drilled for the intake bolts!
After the intake is mounted it looks much "cleaner" having bolts in ALL the holes!
Second, have the 4 front exh manifold holes stepped down for a 3/8-16 fastener, both these tips are NOT for the 100% stock-appearing guys, but more for the "hot-rodders" so to speak!
What I'm working on at this time is putting together a fairly complete set of ARP Stainless fasteners which will include: oil pan, intake, timing cover, water pumps (external fasteners only), thermostat hsgs, and exhaust manifolds, all will have either 6 (most likely) or 12 point heads and can be used with a 1/4" socket set, and will have 5/16" or 3/8" heads!
This should make an entire ***'y somewhat easy, and look really "neat", as far as the fasteners are concerned??
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. I won't have any pricing for a couple weeks, waiting on ARP to make contact! Later tonight I'll have an itemized list with the sizes and the amount needed! Here's a couple shots for now! Photo added with close-up of water pump bolts.
