Doesn't look like ARP makes head bolts or studs for the Y block.  Anyone have a preference for a brand or package that I should look for?

Thanks in advance.  

I typically use ARP for the Y head bolts if grade eight bolts are not provided with the engine.  While ARP does not offer a kit, they are available individually as a custom order.  Mummert also offers the Y head bolts as as kit.  Another option is Fastenal or your local hardware store for grade eight bolts.  Here’s a link to a past thread giving the ARP part numbers suitable for use as Y head bolts.

Thanks Ted.
I'll check that out.

Thread deleted...found the bolts and washers from a couple different suppliers. 


Man...I hope replacing the head gasket is easier than finding the parts to do it!
Thanks.  

I'd make sure the heads were flat before re-installing them.
