[Found!] ARP 240-5501 Main Stud Kit

[Odin]

I am looking for an ARP main stud kit for use with a windage tray on a small block 360. The part number is ARP-240-5501. I am hoping one of you has one laying on a bench that you decided not to use and you are willing to sell it. I have contacted ARP and dozens of retailers, but everyone is out of stock. I am leaving the U.S. on military orders in a week so I'd like to find this quickly and get it to my engine builder.
No Scams please. I don't have time to waste dealing with that nonsense.

Have you looked for Milodon 81186 as well?

Steve was here in the house I just gave the number to him. He has a connection for all out of stock engine parts. Including ARP. I'll let you know tomorrow after lunch.

Keep in mind that the studs on the #5 bearing cap will not work unless you mill the cap bolt hole surface down so the stud nut and washers fit between the cap and the oil pump.

Even then on my 340 I had to buy 2 way shorter studs than were supplied with the ARP stud kit to make it work.

Thank you for your service Mr. Wilkie and don't forget to line hone the block when you install that main stud kit.

Thank you for the fast replies. I am paying a well known local engine builder for this stroker. He found many parts but couldn’t find these studs. I will pass on the comments in case he hasn’t already been aware of them.

Anybody have a set of big block studs? Or two? Application is 2 bolt main 400 blocks.
