I'm building a 2258 and need to replace the case studs. Where is the best place to get them?

Any where else?

I was looking at these...not sure if they sell directly or not. (I see an order toll free number)

911 engine and Type IV stuff.

I saw those too, thanks for the replies.

Nothing but problems with raceway in the past...

What happened to your stock studs?

I prefer stock studs up to 12:1 CR when using iron cylinders, with a 96mm bore

Stock studs were so rusted that I had to cut one. Unfortunately...

I want replace mine because of age and I like case savers/ inserts installed in the case.
I guess you would need the head studs to stretch a bit because of the cylinders growing because of the heat. I been watching your writings on zero valve lash when cold.. Wes

Try http://www.highperformancehouse.com/, he might be able to help you out.

Curious, have you tried the dealer?

Do they have to be new? I've lots of used ones. Be happy to send you a few.

I don't know? That is a great question. I think because the crank will be 78mm from 66mm that the studs may need to be longer. I'm not sure...

I would appreciate that!

Studs are the same length unless you get custom long cylinders.
The pin height on the piston changes to make up the difference in the stroke.

If you use the proper combination of components your 78mm stroke engine can be the same or even more narrow than a stock engine!

I was told that Racewear is very good but a step down from ARP

Hey Jake,

I was wondering about the online course you were going to offer. Will it be offered soon?

Waste of money unless you are using nickies, just get a good used set.
IMO the stock through bolts are nicer than ARP, even though I have ARP on my 2.6 nickies engine.

This is the first time I've heard of issue with Raceway. . How's the present product?
What were the concerns? Please advise.Thanks

Hine62...I have some used case thru bolts if needed....

Take these guys up on their used stock head studs. Spend money on longer studs AFTER you've tested and found if you need them.
