Default Does anyone make a water pump stud kit?

I am about to do cam swap #4. I get so tired of lining up the water pump and starting the bolts while holding up the pump. On the first swap I managed to damage one of the threads in the block and had to heli-coil it on cam swap #3. It would be so much easier if I had some studs for the water pump. Does anyone make them?

You could make your own stud kit. Call arp and give them your bolt sizes, then they can supply you with the proper studs and nuts/washers. I was going to make a head stud kit for my OHC straight 6 lol. Needed to do it all from scratch and ARP was very helpful in providing the right stuff.
