As a direct replacement, the std T1 ARP ones should work great...
But they are stupid expensive
16 BBC ARP 2000 waveloks usually cost far less than 8 std grade T1 or T4 ARPs... ~Always available on EBay.
IF you have the holes reamed a couple thou, BBC (396) 3/8" bolts also work great, and are available in the ARP2000 material and wavelok design, come with 12pt nuts, HIGHLY recommended.
Find out your machinists choice of beverage...
You want a .005" press fit IIRC. Have them resized afterwards of course. (always)
Typically the cost of dropping in the lesser std bolts or paying a bit extra for the machining with FAR BETTER, but oddly much less expensive bolts is a wash price wise.
You also get a spare set for "free"
that can undoubtedly be sold to another lister.
It's all due to the laws of supply and demand, a LOT more folks buy new ARP bolts for their BBC than their ACVW:
VW guys usually just buy new rods, or go with std replacement grade bolts (or just skip replacing them...)
ANOTHER option pioneered by tencentlife and myself is having aftermarket rods resized on the small end...
His rod choice I believe was better, esp considering the fact that the AA/Cofap and QSC WBX pistons all have the deck height wrong, he went with SCAT 5.5" Ibeam rods.
SCAT will resize/rebush them for $20 ea at the factory IIRC.
(I initially went with the 5.4" CB IBeams, and am about to use them for another ...more interesting app in a T4, due to this very issue)
Both have plenty of meat for a larger pin.
So, for ~2 bills you end up with a very nice NEW set of 8740 WBX rods with ARP2000 bolts, and can trim the piston crown as required to get the deck perfect at .030"-.040, rather than the bloody .070ish it usually ends up at.
