Rocker arm studs for Vortec's

[akty]

Before I order a rocker arm stud kit, I need to know what threads are required. I'm thinking 10mm bottom threads. If so, these things are expensive! 23 dollars for two studs! I'm using the crane gold roller rockers.
3/8 studs with 10mm bottom thread?
Thanks

These are 3/8 studs with 10mm bottom threads? I need to make darn sure these are correct. The motor goes back in this weekend. I won't have time to re-order if not right.

you should have had the heads converted to SBC studs. it's way cheaper that way and stronger.

what's involved with the SBC studs? If its machine work then its too late for that.

these are the studs i used on my vortec heads. I'm pretty sure they're the same. I can check the stud hole tonight on my spare heads if no one knows for sure

Thanks Mike, That is the correct number. Just ordered from summit.

BTW, they are 10mm bottom threads if anybody is curious.
