Default ARP 2V/4V headbolts used in 3v?

Can this be possible? They´re a tad smaller ... but 150 cheaper, anyone have tried this?

Or do i need to use the 3V specific

Thanks

no it wont work. the bolts are specific length and have a specific "stretch" to them and you couldnt properly TQ them to spec without the proper "stretch"

The 3V head has about an 1" taller height/deck. So, the 3V bolts/studs are an 1" longer. At this time, ARP only makes the studs in the 2000 material......about $369.00 a set.
