ARP part number for M20 headstuds

[smartamar11]

Hey guys,
So I called ARP and gave them a bunch of measurements of my head ( can be found on pg 22 of their catalog, or online in their catalog as well). They told me the closest thing they had would be part number AM6.770-1B.
I googled it and it is a very obscure part but at page 47 of this link http://www.wiseco-europe.com/Catalogues/EA12.pdf
I found it. I am going to be ordering these and keep you guys updated as to whether they work or not. But I have my fingers crossed.

Good going. Wonder what the cost difference ordering direct would be opposed to $220+/- from vendors

Get a hold of ForceFirebird. He sells them cheap..

Tell him I sent you.!

it is $220 msrp. if you contact someone who does a lot of business with arp though you should be able to get a bit of a discount. I PM'd the mods to see if I could get a group buy going. I bought my set already, but the company I bought them through sounded like they'd give a decent discount if a few people placed an order at the same time.

Right, but what I would like to know is if it would be ~$220 if you would go to them directly with a part number as opposed to purchasing from a vendor?
Because $220 is the average price going around because racecar.

I am actually not sure how much they would charge if you go to them directly. might be worth checking out.

There is very little room for discount on ARP parts. I had a good friend who buys from them frequently check in to pricing and a head stud kit with nuts and washers was still over $200.
