Nice work Rick! The heat shield is a work of art!
Looking forward to hearing it run.

In a strange sort of way, I was thinking how good the heat shield would be for manifold cooking.

most of the plumbing is completed and it's ready to get installed. I was on vacation the last two weeks so nothing got done.
I enjoyed reading this thread. It sure beats watching tv. I'm interested in the thread. I will be looking forward to viewing more.
Just to add some tech info on the ARP head studs:
Vauxhall Opel 2.5 L (16 studs)
ARP Part No. 209-4702 ARP direct list: $236.11
2JZ Toyota kit
ARP Part No. 203-4205 ARP direct list: $198.49
A la carte from ARP:
M11 x 1.25 x 5.0" stud ARP Part No. ATP 5-000-1LUB ARP direct list: $11.70 (single part no., each)
nuts ARP Part No. 300-8303 ARP direct list: $1.92
washers ARP Part No. 200-8511 ARP direct list: $0.92

I've found a google search will locate the 209-4702 for ~ $165 plus shipping, FYI.

just to reiterate, going with the longer 5" stud from ARP with provide 100% thread engagement with the block and provide 100% of the advertised clamping force.
However, the two front most studs need to be trimmed by .25" so they clear the timing gears on the cams.
I've sent in their work sheet and will again try and get them on board with making a proper set of studs for our engines. It might take some sort of group buy to get thing rolling however.

one hand, two ducks
The Tech guy at ARP also mentioned that the 2JZ threads were "undercut" and therefore stronger with the stud being stiffer, whereas, the Opel studs aren't so even though they are longer and have more complete thread engagement, they won't be as stiff laterally.

the 2jz kit I got wasn't undercut. I went back and fourth with one of their tech guys named Sam and wasn't impressed at all with just his basic fastener skills. His first recommendation for a longer stud over the 2JZ wasn't even the correct thread pitch.
OK, so clarify please for me who currently has the motor torn apart and want to replace with a better fastner...
I can order: Vauxhall Opel 2.5 L (16 studs)
ARP Part No. 209-4702 ARP direct list: $236.11
Or i can order: the 2jz toyota kit (which will come with everything i need, but also need to be trimmed down)
Or, i can order: M11 x 1.25 x 5.0" stud ARP Part No. ATP 5-000-1LUB ARP direct list: $11.70 (single part no., each) and i need 14 of them + nuts ARP Part No. 300-8303 ARP direct list: $1.92 + washers ARP Part No. 200-8511 ARP direct list: $0.92

The 2JZ kit has just 14 studs like the 1FZ-FE but as Rick mentions earlier in this thread they are a bit too short so you don't get full thread engagement.
He (& I) went with the 209-4702 kit and in THAT one you have to trim the first two studs 0.25". You also get two extra studs so maybe if you mess one up trimming you have an extra chance
Ordering "a la carte" doesn't really save you any money.
Check out CNC-Motorsports. They had the sets in stock, ready to ship for ~$165 and $11 shipping. I ordered mine this AM and got an email it was shipped just a few minutes ago.

OK, perfect. Thanks!
So much information and different avenues i'm just trying to get my ducks in a row.
You know... 4.5 or 4.6.... ARP or stock.... port and polish or not....

How is the build comming? Always loved watching this thread. And with my headgasket possibly on its way out (time to go investigate) I am more inclined than ever to turbo this pig.
