head bolt compatibility

K guys here's what I hope is a quick question. Can I use head bolts from say a '94 300 i6 in my '79 i6? I'm asking b/c at rock auto i'm seeing head bolts for a '94 {#F3ZZ6065B} but none for a '79. However, the ARP head stud kit 152-4001 states that it fits '69- '96. So can I use the felpro ones from a '94 in my '79?

Ok, did a bit more digging, and it seems that they are the same diameter and thread pitch, so I'm just gunna do it. for $25 for name brand parts, don't think I can go wrong.

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to. If you wanted, you can put a '94 head on a '79 block, or a '79 head on a '94 block, so there shouldn't be a difference in head bolts.
