Hughs Engines has a nice hold down kit with studs, nuts, washers, and billet steel holddowns. They also have the studs you want. I chose not go with studs on my 493 just because if I needed to remove the heads in the car it would be easier. I used the Manley head bolts that came with my heads. Gus

Gus,
Very good point. I might have to keep using the head bolts. I don't think I can remove the passenger side head when using studs. I went with bolts as well for this very reason. I need to look into the Hughes rocker hold downs as they look very nice!

Most ARP studs can easily be removed with a 3/16 allen wrench.

Gus,
Very good point. I might have to keep using the head bolts. I don't think I can remove the passenger side head when using studs. You might be able to remove the lower heads studs in the car One thing about the head studs and headers is if you have a set of big tube headers the head studs may hit the header flanges , been there done that I run head bolts on my current bracket car because of that issue
