L98 2Bolt-4Bolt 500HP?
Hi,
Just wondering if the L98 2Bolt block, now going to
383 with the good stuff will handle 480-510 HP used
mainly as weekend warrior.
RPM goal will be 6500-6800.
Building for friend and at $5500.00 with all the rite
parts and $800.00 Arp-Slayed plus machine work a factor.
Just studs?
Any recommendations appreciated

2 bolt with ARP main studs is all you need

I agree with Motorhead ,buy the ARP stud kit for the 2-bolt block.

I went with splayed caps on mine...can't be too safe when you load that thing down dumping the clutch
Up to you, though. It COULD last for a long time, or it might not. I didn't want to risk it...
