If your not racing, why are you buying very expensive ARP faseners? Chevy has built millions of engines with that bolt.

Unless the bolt is missing and you need a replacement... just use the factory bolt. I've built many a 350 with north of 400hp and that stock bolt is just fine.

Re: Oil pump bolt or stud kit

Live a ways from pretty much everything so I just picked up Arp kit from EB for $7 delivered. Would have cost me $3 in gas to drive somewhere.
TY for input.
