Guys with stud mount rr's and AFRs

[AznStanger3v]

Don't read too far into this. Here is the scenario:

58cc AFR 165 heads. Stud mounted

Which ARP bolts should i get?

I look online and it says Head bolts then another link for head studs

Which do i need??? The head bolts are 100 bones cheaper. Whats the deal?

I ordered 7/16 Chevy ARP studs. Part number unknown...

Are you talking about rocker studs, head studs, or head bolts?

well, what all did everyone buy when getting their AFRs?? Which bolts and how much?

I dont know if i need head studs or head bolts. i have new rocker studs already.

I ordered regular ARP head Bolts, ARP Studs like mentioned thats it

On a stock shortblock 302, head studs are a waste. Some will say that head studs have more clamping force. It shouldn't come down to that. If you lift the heads off the block, something isn't right. The clamping device should not be blamed.

Buy ARP bolts and forget about it.

does anyone want to comment on Joes response? From what ive been taught in school, you arent supposed to reuse the studs or the bolts.

 

[AznStanger3v]

oh, is everyone using 7/16 bolts??

arp 154-3601 for head bolts I'd use head studs though, thats what i'll be using if I ever do a new combo and add some inches to the engine

I went with ARP head BOLTS, 7/16" and you are right about not being able to reuse the stock ones. I think the 351 uses 1/2" bolts.

You are correct.
