ARP Headstud Question

I am getting a parts list together right now and actually have started ordering some parts.

I am building a stroker, twin turbo LS based off a 6.0 Truck block with LS3 style heads. My question is, what ARP head studs do i need. I see a lot of different options and part numbers on ARPs website but none of them have much description.

Again 6.0 Iron Block with LS3 heads. Which head studs do I want?

What year is the block? There is a difference between the 2004+ blocks and those earlier than that...you can take a look at them here http://www.briantooleyracing.com/arp...-234-4316.html and here http://www.briantooleyracing.com/arp...-234-4317.html

I don't have the block yet to verify a part number. The description from where I'm ordering says correct block for 2004 and Later applications.

I don't think it is the heads is what's determines what head studs you need...it is two bolt holes on each bank of the block that are shallower on the older blocks that is different. The newer blocks have all of the holes the same depth...
