Head bolts/studs I have a 2000 LS1 out of a Corvette and replacing the 853 heads with a set of 243. Dumb question, but are the head bolts still going to be the same? I've tried looking it up online and not sure which set works. Any advice/ part numbers would be greatly appreciated.
Yes. AFAIK, bolts changed in '04 blocks. Heads are all the same. Only the blocks were changed to accept all equal length bolts in '04. If youre looking for new bolts or studs, just make sure you know which year your block was cast, and GM or ARP will hook you up with the right fasteners.
Yes, head castings are all the same. If your gonna go ARP, you’ll want set #134-3609. Here’s a link…
