ICH (can't remember the part # at the moment), but the last kit I bought didn't have the threaded sections on the studs machined consistently. If you can get the comparable lengths in ARP, you'll probably be better off, but I don't know of anyone who sells them in kit form, and can't say how much $$$ it'll cost, either.

I posted this awhile back - I used these on a set of INDY EZ-1 heads
You can order ARP stuff and make your own kit - these are Summit part numbers - I just used these for my HS rockers
ARP-200-8556 WASHER 10-PC comes in a package
ARP-300-8332 12 PT NUTS 10PC comes in a package
ARP-AJ2500-1B STUD 3/8 X 2.500 – you need 6 of these
ARP-AJ3250-1B SHAFT STUD – 3/8 x 3.25 you need 4 of these

I used these on my SR heads, seems fine so far, thanks for posting those back then by the way!

The last kit i bought was an ICH kit but youre right, they're not the flashest kit avail & i see ARP don't list this as a kit. When you buy them individually do they come with the allen key hex drive to install them?

The B in the ARP part number stands for Broached.

while we're on the subject of Stud Kits, anyone know the difference between the ARP Head Stud Kit & the Milodon? there's near on $50 difference in price, convert that to my $ & thats near $80, a lot of extra coin to pay if theres buggar all difference.

I used Milodon head studs on one engine trying to save my customer some money. Broke one stud on installation. They told me they had a bad run and sent me 3 new ones (sbc) as they didn't know which I needed. Good thing they sent 3 as on first warm up a second stud broke. Replaced that stud and the engine was raced a full season. Upon tear down a third stud broke!!! NEVER AGAIN. I use nothing but ARP studs in my customers builds from then on.
