ARP Header Bolts!
Hi Guys, need some help with the correct bolt/stud need for my 514 stroker with the FMS SCJB heads. Getting confused on feed back between engine builder and venders. The engine will not be raced or have any aftermarket boosters like blowers or nitro. The hp target will be 600 with 9.5 comp. The F-150 truck will be used for show and tell. I don't see getting into the pedal too often to need the extra protection of studs, but can I use bolts in this set up. It boils down to the cost of studs vs bolts. The other thing that came up was the studs were the only thing that would fit the scjb heads due to space in the roller area. Is this correct? Need some of you guys running the alum heads to clarify this for me, thanks.

I am not running the SCJB heads, I have the A460 heads, and my motor is raced and I run bolts not studs. As far as I know there isn't a issue with the bolt length causing problems, the threads go through a thick portion of the casting on those heads so shouldn't be a problem.
