104563, What parts to buy (top end)
Posted by python6586, Jun-03-07 05:41 PM
ok so i probably swapping heads, posted somthing similar in general but probably wasnt the best place for it. anyway what head gasket do you recommend i know mls but what brand and my motor its built .030 over does that matter at all when selecting a head gasket? also i will be running 15lbs daily so would new stock head bolts be fine, i dont have money for arp and can get a good deal on stocker will these hold?

.030 over eh? pistons will be pricey, IMO. You will be able to use a regular sized HG, Cometic, or Felpro make good head gaskets, as is the MLS mopar replacement. I would also strongly recommend waiting for the ARP head studs, 15 psi isn't a ton of boost, but its better to do it right the first time!

I don't know, but I have and I have a little over 40k on my motor and its strong as an ox. I guess as long as theyre not stretched. Call ARP. 800.826.3045

Yes you can "Re-use" them, the point of using the head studs vs. the bolts is the head can be pulled and reinstalled easily, and not have to worry about stripping the block
