I searched all over and can't find a definite answer on this one... which ARP studs do I need for a D16Y8 Head on a D15B7 Block? I e-mailed ARP and they want me to do all sorts of measurements and fax in a form... but if someone knows off hand that would be great. Thanks in advance.

from what i was told you use the type for the head, meaning y8

I'm almost certain that the one post I DID find regarding this issue said that some of the Y8 studs are not the proper length. It is a mix/match deal... wondering if anyone knows which is which.

Finding studs in stock isn't the issue... I've got a D15B7 bottom end with a D16Y8 head and it's proving difficult to find out what studs to use.

Anyone know for sure? Or do I need to bite the bullet and measure everything to fill out that ARP form?

I think I found part of the answer as well:

"The ARP studs worked except for the 2 bolts in the back corners of the head. I had to use 2 of the D16y8 head bolts there."

Seems that you use the D15B7 studs except for 2 in the back corners... this guy seems to have used regular bolts from the D16Y8 for those spots... which won't do for me since I am boosting. I guess I'll just have to measure and I'll have an answer for others doing this.

Okay... did more digging and MAY have found the answer thanks to Bense:

Looks like I need 9x D15B7 studs and 1x D16Y8 stud for my setup!
