Actually the Ford 4.6 & 5.4 use the same studs and I have replaced them with the SS rod and eliminated the problem of broken studs.Originally posted by natemoen View PostGreg

I think it was Diver Ray that mentioned the later model metric GM water pump studs will work for our exhaust studs.2H7 (79) owned since '89

found studs at sears...the ss allthread cost me 2.60...at sears each stud was 2.60...WTF!?...found 4 the right size, then had to get 4 that were too long and needed the solid middle part threaded...damn its been a long day...
the exhaust gaskets were new and needed to be crushed...was using a 1/2 in socket wrench...ugh...oh well, the gaskets are in there, and now all i got to do is finish the last stud, get the new ones in there and the exhaust will be done! i hope...79 XS11 special "Loki" - homemade 4-2 exhaust, pod filters, rebuilt forks with progressive springs, tkat fork brace, progressive shocks, rebuilt all brakes and MC's, rebuilt carbs with #142.5 main and #42.5 pilot, a custom front and chin fairing, and a handmade set of saddlebags....

Which engine? Certainly not a V-8. They don't use studs on the 4.8 or 5.3 water pumps or any that I can think of.Originally posted by bikerphil View PostGreg

Hmmm, from my junkyard days, I would guess a 77 and up (late modelOriginally posted by BA80 View Post
) V8 motor. It might be GM exhaust studs and not water pump studs, 
Edit: Ok, I did a search and it's late model Chevy small block exhaust studs, they are the longer type that will work on a Standard.Last edited by bikerphil; 07-14-2012, 09:25 PM.2H7 (79) owned since '89
