Any theory as to why the Ford and Chevies get the ARP hardware?

they sell more of them, making the cost go down. only problem I see is the hint of deception with the ARP nuts. if they hadn't used them they would have easily been discovered.

Because that is 90% of their business. Imagine if the GM or Ford guys found out they were using fake ARP studs. World would be out of business, LOL

While we're waiting on the metallugical report from Challenger340, does anyone know what specs these studs should meet? I wonder why the world rep. would say that their studs meet mopar specs. It's not a mopar-built block, and not an OEM application. If the ones tested meet ARP specs, or fall way below, the answer is clear. But what are the real minimum specs these studs need to be??

IMHO if going to an after-market block is to be considered an upgrade, to our performance engines, (and I bet World wants us to see it as such) then why would we spend that much money to upgrade to a block fitted with fasteners that could unravel it all? Consider the upgrades folks here put into the main caps on factory engines, alum main caps, girdles, etc. It is obvious to me we would want the best fasteners in our new after-market blocks. Adjust the selling price accordingly. The Mopar blocks are already more $ than Ford and Chevy. But wait! They knew it! They did put ARP nuts on them!

In Response to the above; I will be shipping all the Studs in question, which I feel are defective, for a complete Mettallurgical Analysis, both Destructive Tensile & Non-D, Rockwell, etc., etc., full spectrum. My point being, stay tuned, I WILL have a Full Report on the Studs, and their compliance with any "known" Industrial Standards ASAP. This is great! I anxiously await your findings!

Has anyone got an answer to the manufacture origin of the "no name studs"?
