I went to summit racing, and found that getting arp head studs isnt that simple. Which studs do i need?

Can anyone help me?

Btw, i have gt40p heads.

Why not just use bolts? I don't get the purpose of going with studs. I went with their $45 bolt kit

studs are nice...a buddy has them on his 94 lightning. He did it when he rebuilt the shortblock and re-used his gt40 heads, made swapping to AFR185's nice...cept for the brake booster as the angle/way the heads have to come off with studs.

The 351 uses the 1/2 in bolts IIRC, the 302 uses the smaller dia. bolts, dont remember off the top of my head at the moment though on the exact size.

the studs definetly give some more clamping force. if u have a head that has 1/2 inch bolt holes you'll need the kit that comes witht the reducers.

I think it's 7/16" bolts, but I don't remember for sure either.
