Ok, I'm tearing down the old 360 so it can make its way to the machine shop. for a larger crank

I have a few questions.

1. I want to use the stock rear sump pan, but i want to run main studs. I already have the arp stud kit, but what do I do about the pickup tube mount? Does ARP make a stud with the stud on it for the pickup mount? Or am i SOL?

2. Is there a rear sump windage tray that will allow you to run the stock pan? Or will the studs i have interfere with it? Im not real concerned about a windage tray as for the purpose of this engine i don't think i will benefit all that much from one, not enough to make it worth buying another set of studs to accomodate the tray.


Any info would be nice. I hate to use the stock bolt with the stud on it and use ARP studs in all of the other holes.

 

I just finished a rebuild using the ARP stud kit. I just enlarged the hole on the pickup tube so it would fit the ARP stud. I then torqued the main with the ARP nut/washer, then used a SS jamb nut to hold the pickup tube. Checked clearance with the pan and everything worked out well.

 

Awesome Idea. Thanks. Never thought of doing that.
