ARP SBC/WP Tall Deck 9.80 Warhawk Block w/Warhawk 12Deg LS7 Heads Head Stud Kit

This ARP head stud kit is specifically made for SBC/WP Tall Deck 9.80 Warhawk blocks when paired with Warhawk 12-degree LS7 cylinder heads. The studs are constructed from ARP's proprietary 8740 chromoly steel, heat-treated to 200,000 psi tensile strength, ensuring they can handle the immense clamping forces required for high-performance engine builds. This robust material choice means you get a well-built stud that resists stretching under extreme pressure, which is critical for maintaining proper head gasket seal and preventing leaks.

The kit includes 12-point nuts and hardened parallel washers, all made from aerospace-grade stainless steel. These components are designed to distribute the load evenly across the cylinder head deck, preventing any localized stress that could lead to damage. The studs themselves feature a rolled thread, which is stronger and more durable than cut threads, further enhancing their reliability in demanding applications. This attention to detail in material selection and manufacturing ensures a solid foundation for your engine's top end.

When rebuilding or modifying a performance engine like one using a Warhawk block and specific LS7 heads, using the right hardware is essential. This ARP kit is designed to provide the necessary clamping force to keep your cylinder heads securely in place, even under high boost or aggressive tuning. It's a well-known choice among engine builders who demand reliability and performance from their components.
