Yerp. Might want to call Ritter. He may have a set somewhere. Otherwise you are looking at well over $500 maybe over $1,000 now. Those things are like gold.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

OK $2,250 for the 20 studs. Or is that $115 for the long studs on the top row?

Can you check for me but I thought yours should be 1/2 to 7/16 that's what the last w8 PST stuff was from CFE.

My set from Patterson were 1/2" to 7/16" 5 long and 5 short for each head. The CFE heads were drilled for 7/16.
I let my studs go with the heads. Didn't realize until I was well on my way I was not paid for the studs. That's what you get counting money in a thunder storm. The part that sucks is I was practically giving them away to start with.
Now listening to the prices of these studs. I really got screwed.

3/8 studs will not torque tight enough. These heads use 7/16.
Can't remember the exact torque but you go 85 lbs with stock 1/2" bolts. You can go a little more with 1/2" studs. 7/16 stepped studs went around 80 lbs. A 3/8 was only around 60 lbs.
10 head bolts at 85 lbs was not enough. Now you want to go with 18 3/8 head bolts. Would not recommend that.

Bret that appears to be a 1/2" stepped to 7/16". Are you saying this is a 1/2" stepped to 3/8". If that were the case you would not need to high dollar studs just thread reducers in the block like the OP suggested.

I got Zues W9's so now I really don't know what I'll need lol just once it'd be nice to be a Chevy guy
Anybody try making their own in a lathe?? It seems like a fairly smart fella could modify a stud and thread one end and make these things doesn't it? Just spit balling ideas here 
It says Zeus w8 take long top row don't know how to be more clear.
Damn I read that all wrong lol my bad. I believe I will try and piece it together, stock block combo so I only gotta worry about the 10 main head bolts.
