smokin5s Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I went with the bolts.... ARP bolts can be re-used over and over again and going with bolts makes it easier if part of the motor is hidden and clearance is an issue. (Ex: F-bodies, half of their motor is under the hood, so to use studs, u have to drop the motor out of the engine bay to use them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I ran ARP head bolts simply because it was significantly cheaper and studds are overkill for my application. You can most definately use heads studds and pull the heads on our motors w/ the motors still in the car, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
