Head Bolt/Stud fasteners

[Michael Siple]

LA 340 with speedmaster bare aluminum head castings with our own bits & pieces . Looking for correct ARP bolt kit & stud kit part #'s . I've looked it up & come up with a few different numbers. SM won't give up any info except for their own stud kit # & ARP does not list a kit for these. Anyone been thru this before able to supply me with what is correct set ? I thought it would have been the same as a eddy RPM kit . I've looked till I'm dizzy. Thank you all. -Mike

144-3601 is the bolt kit.

Same bolts as the Edelbrock aluminum heads.

Thanks - needed a little reassurance

Check for bottoming out. I have had ARP fasteners, on different engine brands, that were too long.

144-4005 is the stud kit. 1000x better than the sloppy speedmaster studs, I was scared to use them

I have stock head bolts on my SM heads. (actually ProComp, before they changed their name to Speedmaster). I just scavenged 2 extra of the long bolts from a spare set I had laying around. I did buy hardened headbolt washers from Pioneer to put under them.
