Billy builds hemi's and when I spoke to him last year he had a stash of parts. He may have a set of studs..

 

Thanks Redtruck , much appreciated , I'll shoot an email

Looks like only Facebook presence .....hmmmmmm
I don''t do FB

 

I am now and will always say , unless you plan on pulling the heads off a few times or are into serious boost, head studs are a PIA, as for which head bolt is better, I wouldn't go Engine tech or OEM if I'm over 11 to 1 compression, but other then that my only other thing to say is torque to yield sux when the engine is in the truck, on a stand there fine.

 

Thank You Guys,
Appreciate the info , kind of confirmed my thought's , best option seems to be quality head bolts, so,
I ordered the ARP Head BOLTS , with supply chain crap going on they SAY they are to be shipped on December 14th, so with shipping time I'm looking a almost 3 weeks till they show up. OW well😟 , guess I'll go spend some more time on that truck intake manifold.😖 ARGH
Hey Chris, how much for your intake manifold ? I'd like mine RED please 😎

 

ARP good choice.. that's what Billy would tell you to use and go for broke.

 

ARP fasteners are jewelry. Just looking at them makes me feel good..

 

Still waiting for the ARP headbolts , came back to this thread to see when I ordered them, they are on backorder ARGH !!
Been about 25 days so far...............................................

 

I think you'll be waiting till mid January....Sux I know , I'm in the same boat.

 

Crap, I got an email from Jegs saying my are backordered until 3/28/2022 !!! That's basically April !!!
I made a call to my engine builder , he's going to check around his sources.

 

If I do get my order on the 24th I'll let you know, I have 20 sets on order and an even dozen of head studs.

 

Thanks Ric, I am trying Texas Speed, I'll see what they have to say, ordered this morning, I'll wait a day or 2 see if they update the shipping on the bolts, If it's going to be a couple of month's I'll get back to you ,
MUCH APPRECIATED !!!!

 

THMotorsports and Hughes Engines should have them also.

 

Hughes got back to me backordered since October , no ETA on when they will be in stock

 

ric3xrt,
Have you received an update on those hemi head bolts ?
I just mailed Texas Speed and they said 6 weeks on my order , that would make it aprox Feb 26th for them.
Jegs is 3/28
Asked engine builder "again" Friday to check into them , see if he had any connections , so far , crickets........
Looks like I'll take a set from you.
Let me know when you get them
thx

 

Does anyone have the ARP 147-3901 Head Bolts ???
HELP !!

 

I guess everybody is in the same boat , still waiting

 

March 10th ,
still no word ARGH !!!!

 

Has anyone tried contacting Duane at 3rdstrikeperformance? If he doesn't have it, he knows where to get it.

 

I have them on order at Texas Speed & Jegs, but was informed this week that the delivery dates were pushed back ANOTHER 30 days , May 26th. I'm going to try making some actual phone calls, 3rd strike will be one of them.
Keep me informed if Ya'll find some.

 

Hello,
Well with all the supply chain problems I was told July 8th , then August 8th , this is torture.
