I have a manual buddy!

I went through this deciding on parts for my blower motor..All the top shops said ARP main studs were a waste on anything under 800RWHP...

You should in no way ever re-use the inner torque to yield bolts. They are a one time use only. The outer cross bolts are not torque to yield and can be re-used however. Use the part numbers above and get yourself a set.
