Which ARP Bolts for bolting up a 727 to a 440?

Issue I see with studs like you're recommending is if replacing the engine without pulling the engine and trans together. If the angle of returning the engine is not correct it could hit the studs and damage them.

Look closely at the studs they have a ball on them to prevent cross threading. Also they help line up the trans. You won't damage the hardened threads with an aluminum trans. You'll need to come up with a better negative comment than that, I even have a stud on the distributor hold down.
