Hi guys,does someone know where I can get head studs from.Looks like ARP doesn't make studs for our engine or maybe I.m wrong.I.m a bit afraid to push it more without at least head studs.

14-15psi will be fine without studs... Headgasket is way more important!! I thanks you friend

VAC sells ARP studs. It's the same as the M/S50 but uses fewer studs.
