I'm looking to get a list of compatible bolts and studs that go with particular heads.

List if your heads have the 7/16" or 1/2" holes, did you need bushings, and what heads did you use them on?

Thanks

For example I used:

ARP Head Bolts - ARP-154-3601 (AFR 165’s/emissions legal - 7/16”) and No Bushings needed.

I am running Edelbrock #60379 heads that have 1/2" head bolt holes, which require Edelbrock #9680 reducer bushings w/integral washers and #8552 7/16" head bolts.

ARP 154-4201 studs - Twisted Wedge heads. They're the 7/16" studs and holes in the heads, so no bushings required.
