Was wondering about head studs vs head bolts on aluminum heads,I have heard pros and cons to both! I ran ARP studs on a 347 Ford,8.2 deck with 13.8 compression,never any issues.I'm building a 418"Windsor,9.5 deck, that will end up at 12.4 compression and was told I should run ARP head studs.Same aluminum heads as on my 347,any comments or ideas? ROY.
