Ryan,

I used a stock bolt for the pickup. Not many good choices in this situation.

yea i searched a bit and found some info on the corral...seems people do just this...i think i may use the stock bolts for both sides of the cap...not just the one side...then use arp on the rest of the caps. does this sound like it will be fine?

i dont like mixing things like this but i dont know what else to do...plus my car is not anything wild by any means...just N/A with some P heads, nothing crazy so i think ill be ok.

for that combo that would be fine.. i usually make a little custom piece for the tube to bolt to..

Seems odd that ARP would not make a kit for rear sump pickup 302 but they do offer one for rear sump 351.

yeah i mean i honestly dont know what they were thinking when they decided to not make it so that you can use it with the stock-style setup? but o well nothin i can do lol.
