Thinking about a built shortblock

[80FoxCoupe]

I wonder why ARP has a part number for 18up gt? Ill call tomorrow and find out.

I called ARP asking about tech details of 2011 kit, 2018up gt kit and 5.2l kit.

2011 kit obviously 12mm, but 8.200 length. Odd they didn't have a metric length on file.

2018up gt and 5.2l kits info available. Still in R&D....

I used ARP part #256-4702 head stud kit on my 2018.

You got lucky installing those head studs, I had major issues and broke 2 studs even though I carefully followed the instructions. I would recommend anyone to use the Ford TTY bolts, they are cheaper and less risky to use compared to the ARP.

anyone still wanting to risk broken studs and potentially mangled threads in their block should read this article first, which is very different to the instructions you get in the ARP box
