LOL. Stranger fixes have taken place.
It was a serious question though. I can't tell you how many 12 valve ARP stud installs we've done, and I can't remember ever running into this issue.
 
Hey I’m betting that grandfather kept a lot of machines running that otherwise would not have been haha what is considered jerry rigged today was innovative back in the day. Couldn’t just order parts from Amazon!

It’s amazing what you can get to seal up with enough indian head gasket shellac. Aka “The Chief”.
 
So the 6 studs were incorrect and somehow ended up in the kit. The vendor made good on the exchange and now the job is done! Thanks everyone for your feedback.
