What The Hell Did I Get Myself Into?!

Did you know that when you change bolts like that, you are supposed to have the rod honed since the ARP bolts create a tighter clamping force on the cap and can make the rod bearing journal out of round.
Now that youre thinking about it, looks like fun. Damn sure easier thandoing it on a F-body.

Thats a nice pile of parts and pieces you have there. A lot of work but that's half the fun with this hobby. Nice web page also. I've been putting off doing a similar thing detailing the work done to mine.
Good luck!

not saying it wont work, but.....
Its the same deal as if you were to use main studs. You have to line bore/ hone the mains.
