Just My Opinmion, But Having Purchased And Tried All The Options ARP Has Available, And Given The Fact That You Have Edelbrock Heads With Heavy Headers Hanging Off Of Them, You Would Be Better Off Using The Header Studs That ARP Offers. Be SURE To Apply Copper Anti-Seize To The Threads. Opinions Are Like Navels, Most People Have Them, But In All Honesty, Studs Are Better Than Bolts When It Comes To Aluminum, And Especially Edelbrock Heads. Yes, You Will Have To Tighten Them Occasionally, But You Will With Bolts As Well.
