RE: Now, I found out!

Dave, have you actually heard of any problems and or failures with the ARP hybrids as you call them? And I understand why you call them hybrids.
I used them in my 427. After I purchased them and saw them, I'd started hearing "rumors" about these ARPs being a weak link. Now my machinist, engine builder who I think quite highly of, didn't say anything badly about them. He followed the ARP procedures for torquing/stretching/measuring, etc. He thought they would be fine. We did converse about how a standard 390 rod with the standard 3/8" ARP bolt looked like a better deal. But we'd already prepped the C3AE/C6AE low riser/PI rods and so went with them and the ARP.
I wasn't even aware that SPS was still in business.
Still learning and interested in your opinion and any facts on the failure of ARP.
Oh and as for spring cups Joshua, I'd check with your machinist who you plan to have do your heads. There are a number of these being manufactured out there. I think Ford starting using them with the 406. I know for sure they were stock on C3AE-C early '63 tri power heads.
This thread, so far...
