Re: ARP Main Studs
I don't know for sure if they would work but the main caps are different with crossbolts. Really not necessary. I would use shims for the crossbolts after the mains are torqued first.

Re: ARP Main Studs
Yes, I have fitted ARP main bearing studs to a 4.6 block. Watch out the torque setting though. ARP recommended setting is pretty excessive. The crank in my block was locked solid before the ARP value was reached. If you use them I recommend that you check the bearing bores, you may need to line hone the main bearing bores.

Re: ARP Main Studs
X2 with what minorv8 stated. I have them in my supercharged 215 and my machine shop highly recommended line honing when installing main studs, due to the increased clamping load.
It's not a bad idea to hone the rods also if you are using ARP rod bolts, as this will give you more consistent bearing clearances. Bill |

Re: ARP Main Studs
Definitely agree with Bill on ARP studs for the 215/3.5. The original poster was wondering if the ARP studs for the 215 would fit the later crossbolt block or if they were different.
