I have a set that I used on my NA setup for 1974 miles. Being that they are studs, you can re-use them as much a you want. Mine were only used once.

The ONLY reason I am selling them, is because i'm boosting my motor, and going with TFS 6 bolt heads and L19 studs.

Mine are currently at LME. I'll take 200 shipped for them.. This saves you about 60 bucks.

My set includes the studs, washers, and 12point nuts.

No matter what you do, just make sure they a the Gen 2 studs. Which means they are for 2004 and later motors..

Would ARP studs or regular ARP bolts be recommended for an N/A motor?? (Motor will never see boost or spray - just a mild N/A 500RWHP 406)

If you have any intentions of removing your heads then studs are best. But in your case, ARP bolts will be just fine.

As a note, I'd much prefer to use a bolt instead of a stud in an F-body for install ease. If you're pushing it to the limits, the stud is nice to have for more consistent load distributing and clamping...but for your average street/strip build the bolt is fine.
