Title: Genesis block main cross bolts
Post by: ToddK on March 02, 2012, 03:21:23 AM

I have a used Genesis iron block that was supplied without any crossbolts, and with unknown quality main cap bolts. I plan on using studs on the mains. Will ARP FE main studs work on the Genesis block? It has the newer style large main caps.

Also, what bolts and washers do I need for the crossbolts? Do ARP make these as a kit? I want to get all these bolts before I send the block out for machining.

The ARP FE main studs are good for the Genesis.
The cross bolts are grade 8  7/16 14nc  with the black oxide finish as is the main bolts.
The cross bolt washers may take a bit of hunting though.
Maybe ARP or even Genesis for the right look.
A graded washer at least anyways.

Hey Todd
I was in town taking some pics for another deal and thought these may help you.
On second look they may not be black.
