ARP Stud Kits for Big-Block Chevys
Modern Rodding’s First new product for June 2026 is from ARP. The automotive aftermarket continues to embrace the popular big-block Chevrolet engine, with new cylinder head configurations and block designs regularly introduced. Industry-leading fastener manufacturer ARP—now offering over 80 head stud kits to accommodate the wide range of BBC block and head combinations—aims to cover the many new options and has recently launched kits compatible with Dart Pro 20-degree, Edelbrock Big Victor 12-degree and Big Victor 24-degree aluminum cylinder heads.
Manufactured from high-quality 8740 steel and heat-treated to 190,000-psi tensile strength, they are perfectly suited for various engine setups. The threads are rolled (not cut) after heat treatment and offer 10 times the fatigue life of studs produced by standard methods. They are significantly better than factory hardware and can deliver additional clamping force with an added safety margin.

Billet Power Steering Reservoir
Billet Specialties now offers Hydroboost Power Steering Reservoirs finished in polished and black anodized options. These precision-engineered components are designed to enhance Hydroboost system performance. Made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, each reservoir holds up to 30 ounces, providing enough fluid for optimal operation.
Both Billet Specialties models feature a vented and baffled cap that allows foam-free operation and manages positive and negative pressure with double O-ring seals to prevent leaks. The internal return tube baffles reduce fluid turbulence and foaming, ensuring smooth, reliable steering. Each reservoir includes essential fittings: one -10 male AN fitting for the pump supply and two -6 male AN fittings for the return lines—one for the steering rack or box and one for the Hydroboost master cylinder. They come with stainless fasteners for corrosion-free assembly and fluid level lines for quick checks. A billet mounting clamp is included for secure attachment, with two 5/16-18 threaded holes on the bottom for additional mounting options. The polished (PN 77810) and black anodized (PN BLK77810) versions provide a top-tier upgrade for your vehicle’s steering system.

CPP’s new adjustable rear sway bar kits feature billet ends welded to the sway bar’s center section to provide more clearance around the shock mounts. With some applications, the shocks interfere with our Rear Pro-Touring Sway Bar kits.
This new fully adjustable design provides the benefits of their Rear Pro-Touring Sway Bar kits with more space and increased roll resistance. These sway bars will fit both stock and aftermarket rearends with a 3-inch axle tube. Kits come complete with gloss-black frame-mount brackets and all necessary hardware for an easy installation.

Edelbrock EZ-Street EFI
Edelbrock now offers its all-new EZ-Street EFI system as an affordable, user-friendly upgrade for any V-8 engine originally equipped with a carburetor. The EZ-Street EFI system seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with traditional styling.
The four-barrel throttle body design mounts to any intake manifold with a standard 4150-style flange and accommodates a traditional round air cleaner, giving builders a visually appealing look that resembles a classic carburetor.
