ARP header studs, anyone used them? There are two types.. One of the most annoying parts of my 6.0L swap has been trying to line up the headers and get the bolts in without cross threading the bolts..
I know I'll probably be messing around with the engine in the future so I decided to go ahead and put in exhaust manifold studs as opposed to the bolts that are currently in there.
Has anyone gone with studs? Any feed back? ARP studs are the only ones I've managed to find, and sponsors from this site do sell them...
but I've found two different types.
There are these ones
http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/...-stud-kit.html
And these ones
http://www.texas-speed.com/p-786-arp...04-blocks.aspx
The latter are 3 times more.. but are they worth the price?
Any input would be great.

I have ARP header studs. They go in easy, and seal great. You can really torque em down. Best choice I made was buying them. Job went smoother. I have them in an 02 LS1 Formula. Went in with no issues. Haven't leaked once.
