DART Bolts or Studs

[scottiec]

Hey Everyone,

Piecing everything together for my Dart SHP 363. I am at a crossroads here. Do I use the main bolts that DART supplied (grade 8), or do I upgrade to ARP studs for the mains. I most likely wont have to align hone if I stick with the current hardware. Switching will most definitely require a line bore/align hone.

DART said these bolts are good for 600 hp. I think my build will be around 450. Possibly 500 in the future if I go with bigger heads.

EDIT: one more thing to add. Machine shop thinks I will be just fine with the supplied bolts.

What say you engine guru's?
