Richard, those aluminum heads are a big investment; be patient and wait for an answer from someone who knows. Better still, call John Mummert, or send an email to Ted Eaton ( eatonbalancing@yahoo.com). Good luck!

Thanks Ted more then I thought. I’m using ARP studs washers and nuts. Had grind a grind a 11/16 socket to fit the outside short studs as the casting was too tight. I’m going to increase the casting radius for the nut

https://alloyboltz.com/product-category/automotive-kits/engine-bolt-kits/ford-engine-kits/ford-y-block-engine-kits/Hi I got my kit from these people. You may find a kit is not 100%. The bolts for the front of the motor can change if you add things like air con brackets etc. You have to be careful as some go through into the sump area and could possibly hit the crank.They also sell individual bolts if the kit is not exact. stuey .

I use ARP head stud kits on my three Y blocks with no issues. The longer bolts go in the head dowel hole location. Here is the lower ARP studs on aluminum heads. Joe-JDC

Joe, do you recommend ARP studs for iron "G" heads as well?

I prefer the studs since they have the fine threads under the nuts. In my opinion, that gives a better torque value with a high pressure lubricant. The ARP studs have an allen fitting in the stud to make it easy to install or remove them. You simply loosen the nut a turn, and use an allen wrench or allen socket to remove the stud with the nut and washer in place. The studs are installed in the block just hand tight, or tight and back off a quarter turn. Joe-JDC

Did you buy your studs from Mummert? I didn't see a listing for Y-block head studs on ARP's website.
