Hi Gary
did they give you a price/time for delivery? I need a set but haven't placed an order yet... the chap I spoke to reckoned at least 2 weeks but no pricing ...

I see TRS Adelaide have/had a kit listed on special...presumably the one for the 3.5L at $180...
cheers

Just a bugger that it didn't happen 4 months ago, but Murphy looms large in my life at the moment :D

Sorry, I don't have any details of the changes, other than ARP did indeed get hold of a 4.6 block and developed a kit to fit properly....

Sorry no they had the Buick 215 head studs in stock and said the Buick main studs were out of stock but normally only takes 2 weeks to get in - they were going to call me.

I assume they do not have these new studs in stock so will need to get them from ARP so maybe a few weeks.
