Sr71 heads!

What part number do I need for head studs for my SR71 heads for an A460 block ?

I got mine from Kaase, I think they are the same ones to fit the blue thunder heads. If in doubt call the man himself.

X2 on the call Kaase and even just get them from him, they will be the right stuff.

All of the studs and bolts are out of stock. Is it possible to cut an ARP stud to make it fit?

It would be possible, but you would need studs the are pretty close

255-4301 is the ARP part number for the studs, they do not make a bolt kit for them. I have been looking for the bolts for the Blue thunder heads so I can use them with my SR-71's no luck so far, good luck.

Did everyone that makes performance parts and even engine bearings die from covid?

They are living just out of business!!!

It not only car parts it's machinery parts to it takes 3 times longer to get parts now everything out of stock. I ordered parts for a machine at work over a month ago and they still saying another 3 to 4 weeks. One of our packaging machines the company that builds them are now permanently closed. I ordered the stuff and going to build the part in house because all the machine shops are so far backed up.

"Build Back Better" is a real problem for anyone who doesn't have their head in the sand and a joke almost everywhere.

Hang on, it is only going to get worse.
