I ordered most of my internals from a local performance shop, and I'm just doing a sanity check on all the part numbers. The ARP main stud kit I got is number 218-5401, and says "MAZDA MIATA MAIN STUD KIT" on the box. According to ARP's catalog, this is the kit for B-series motors (b6, bp, etc), but they don't have a listing for the FS (or anything else besides the MZR for that matter). Can anyone confirm this is the correct part number? Thanks!
 
check with MP3racer , Doc B racing guy , he knows which ARP works for FS engine and which one would stretch.

There's many other's like FOCUS, TheMan, SignatureSound ... etc these are some that i had in mind but if you look around you'll see that others that have build their engine would be able to help you as well.
 
Yeah, if I don't get any bites on this thread, I may have to start bugging folks individually. Or start plowing through some build threads and hoping for a parts list. Search has done me zero good to far.
 
Hrm... a couple of websites are listing the correct kit as 218-4703

EDIT: I just realized these are links to head studs.... diregard!

But then I found this thread

That's p/n 203-5403, and the box says it's for a Toyota application, but Michelle said they work for a protege.

So now I'm really confused. haha

After checking and double checking a few sources, it appears that the 203-5403 Toyota kit is correct. Who'd a thunk it?
