Is there a way to prime the engine? I am used to pulling a distributor. Gaskets aren'tas expensive as I thought they would be but what the hell is the deal on head bolt or stud prices????? Last set of arp head bolts I bought were for sbf and it was under $100.

The only way to prime the engine would be through the oil pressure sending unit port with a pressurized container. The oil pump is located under the water pump inside the gear housing and is driven off the crank. You have to modify an oil pump to prime fresh engines.
They have 26 studs in a box and they all are 12mm. 20 of them are pretty long as well. They definitely aren't as cheap as gas stuff. Plus the gas ones probably sell double the amount or triple and I'm sure that plays into the price.
