I called arp and spoke with their technical dept and they said that they don't have any "off the shelf" rocker studs for ls heads but they could custom some for me

I've never seen 3/8" rocker bolts for the LS1, or my LS7. The trunnions have 8mm holes, I believe....

I think Crane had a kit with rocker studs that were 8mm x 3.8”. Might want to check with them?
