get studs and use them in both motors, never have to buy bolts again.

i will buy them when i rebuild the 331 but what about the stockers

ODB

don't use the stockers.....if you want low budget...but ARP head bolts...not the studs....they are less than 50 bucks.....

ya i think i going to just go get some and call it that

You do know the stock bolts are torque to yeild, which means only one time, at least put a bolt stretch gauge and check it out, personally, I would not reuse them but thats just me.

And Jeff is right about the 88-95 5.0 head bolts are not torque to yield. You can reuse them but I would not suggest it.
