Speedmaster PCE279.1032 SBC 350 Chromoly Head Stud Kit

The Speedmaster PCE279.1032 head stud kit is engineered for Chevrolet small block 350 engines with aluminum blocks, delivering professional-grade clamping force and reliability for high-performance applications. These premium fasteners provide superior cylinder head retention compared to standard bolts, making them ideal for engines with increased cylinder pressure from forced induction, high compression ratios, or nitrous oxide systems.

Key Features:

• Constructed from aircraft-quality 8740 chromoly steel with 190,000 PSI tensile strength
• Cold-forged manufacturing process ensures molecular integrity and maximum strength
• Heat-treated prior to thread rolling and precision machining for consistent performance
• Includes 12-point nuts for improved grip and reduced risk of rounding
• Hardened parallel washers provide even load distribution across the cylinder head
• Specifically designed for small block Chevy 350 engines with aluminum blocks
• Complete kit includes all necessary studs, nuts, and washers for installation

Head studs offer a significant advantage over traditional head bolts by remaining stationary in the block during installation, which reduces the risk of thread damage and allows for more accurate torque readings. The 12-point nut design and hardened washers ensure proper clamping force and help maintain head gasket seal integrity even under extreme operating conditions.
