LM7 stock block + ARP fastener Q's
Hey guys, I've been ordering parts like a madman for my upcoming 98 s10 turbo lm7 build and just wanted to get the opinion of a few guys out here that have more experience in these matters than I do.
I've got a 120k-ish mile 5.3 that I'm going to be tearing down and refreshing with new rings and bearings and would like to know, at what point would buying ARP main studs be a good idea?
I'm about to order a set of head studs, main studs, rod bolts, and a harmonic balancer bolt but would like to hear what you all think before I pull the trigger.
P/N's: 234-6301, 234-4316, 234-5608, 234-2503
Head studs are a for sure thing but the rest, I'm not sure if I should get for a $200 takeout motor that I can get another if it goes south. The whole point of this build was to push a JY motor to its limit but if I can add a little bit of security by purchasing these fasteners and transfer them over to a new motor if this one blows, I'm all for it.
thanks for taking the time to read this.
cheers!
