Which head bolt kit for head swap? I will be doing a head swap in the near future and I am looking at the required parts for installation. I know I will need new head bolts and I have heard ARP is the best. I am having trouble finding the right kit out there for what I need to get done. Can anyone show me a link to what I need? I am open to other kits than ARP, but I know they are supposed to be the best. I have looked around TSP's site because that's where I'm getting the heads from, but they have multiple kits out there. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

What about a good set of stock gaskets required for the head swap? TSP has a package for the gaskets and head bolts...but I think I want to run ARP head bolts...and I don't see them selling all the gaskets required in a set...

You don't "NEED" the stud kit, but it is a option. I have just heard it makes it a bear to get the heads in/out with the studs if the motor is in the car. So for me the ARP bolts are good enough. Now on a boosted application I'd highly recommend the studs.
