yes, they are the same. The stock head bolts are used on both cast and aluminum blocks.

Im running a teksid block with standard head bolts.

So i guess you decided to use an aluminum block? I haven't been on in awhile so i might have missed your thread

I use the stock bolts also but when i take everything apart i will most likely switch to all ARP. I don't remember them having 2 different part numbers when i was looking before.
