I'm trying to get everything together to install my heads and cam.I called ARP and asked them what Part number i needed for head bolts or studs. They told me they didn't have a specific part number for them. So I asked for the ls1 head bolt but im not sure they'll fit:
bolts 1343610
studs:234-4317
header bolts:434-1301
Does anyone know for sure the part #'s for sure OR the bolt lengths and thread size?
Also If i get studs will i be able to get the heads on and off with the engine in the bay?

Dunno about the part numbers, but I've done a head swap in the truck with head studs before.

okay so I should not have any clearance issues installing the heads on the studs. Good to know.

Now that I think about it, I can't remember if I pulled the studs or not...I may have put the studs in after the head was set on and lined up.

I remember reading here that the heads won't slide over the studs on our trucks. The heads will have to be placed on the block first, then the studs must be screwed in, and vice-versa for removal.

security...If ever get the urge to up the boost. If I don't get my desired times I'm going to spray it. When it blows I'll just bore it and that will be one less thing I'll have to worry about buying.

I installed the heads on my motor with the studs already in it wasn't even tight they slid right on.

I have studs and have had the heads off 8-10 times without having to pull the studs out of the block.
