I wonder if that's all brand L19 studs?

 

I had mentioned ARP L19's and AMS TMS L19's head studs I believe. So.. to be honest, good question, I'm not sure.

I currently have arp studs but I have the map L19 studs for my build.

 

Yeah, I like those head studs. I never made a decision on the studs. I came up with ARP / AMS / MAP / Magnus. But, after talking with Aaron, I guess I'll stick with the standard ARP's.

For some reason, I'd feel more comfortable knowing the L19's were in there.

Guess time will tell.

Here's a few teasers of my powder coating skills
I'll take some more pics of what I've coated and post them as well.






I also want to give a BIG thanks to Aaron@ER and Bill@MAP! You guys have helped me a TON on this project!

Can't wait to get this thing together!

Looks promising. How long has your car been down?

 

Hrmm...since end of August. So truth be told it sat there from August until the end of November. I pulled the head off, and sent it to MAP right at the end of November or beginning of December. So, it's been down a while.


How's your build coming along???

Wow thats a long wait. Mines been down for 2 months and I thought that was long. I should be getting my Strictly Modified built short block back today. I ran into some bumps in the road during those 2 months but I think I got them all squared away. I should have it running by Monday or Tuesday night. We will see how it goes.

 

Nice! I'm jealous, it will be at least 2/3 weeks for me. I still need my injectors
