Do i need fancy billet or Pretty blue anodized ones? And why... Shafts egg shape with stock Ones? Should i use studs and nuts or bolts? 440 source has fancy Aluminum holddowns with arp bolts for 60 i think... Good deal? Tell Me what you have and why thanks! 74 dart sport 440 www.Csucarbs.com

The ones that came w/my Harland-Sharps are beefy and capture more of the shaft and spread the load greater and studs just make sense. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
