detjoe Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would run them BigBlock head studes like Chase, those F'ers were like 1/2" thick. then skimp on the heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would run them BigBlock head studes like Chase, those F'ers were like 1/2" thick. then skimp on the heads. im not worried about lifting heads with this build. I also dont believe the size of the head stud is a factor in that equation. increasing size of a bolt is only going to do so much. the head is still going to distort inbetween the two studs. so you run more chance of warping a head then you do anything. ive seen builds with the stock size studs have no issues with a prepped block i might run TTY head bolts once again. My last build i didnt lift a head and with a TTY bolt its a like a fuse. id rather have the bolts stretch then take out a set of heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
