8.1L Vortec Compatiable Parts I am putting an 8.1L into a rock buggy and I am currently pulling together all the parts.
Raylar Cam, valve springs, keepers, etc.
Roller rockers and ARP studs (metric to std special for the 8.1L)
I intend to turn up the rev limiter, and I am concerned about rod bolts on the OEM rods.
Does anyone know if there is any standard ARP rod bolt that will work in this rod? ARP has not responded with an answer either way, nor has Raylar.
Length, under head to tip 2.275” (57.785 mm)
Press section shank, .400” (10.16 mm)
Thread OD, .384” (9.75 mm)

Thats something I'm curious about also. I love big blocks, they're just cool. Parts for one of those are pretty hard to come by though. If they made a scaled up LS Big block, I can only imagine the power capabilites! Who wouldn't want a 596" LS under the hood!!!
