Never seen any, you could probably figure out what length you need
and just make them work for your project.

What are you building up that is going to need studs?

This is my first build of these motors.  I have built alot of turbo dodge motors and a couple northstars.  always used studs with aluminum head and block to avoid head gasket problems.  with aluminum blocks I have experiences threads pull and had head gasket problems.  want to avoid this as its my daily driver.  its just gonna be a mild hipo na motor

I have some ARP head studs left over from a 240sx build I was going to do but scrapped. Part #165-5401

They are good on the length for my 16v and fit 5 of the 10 holes through the head. I'm going to have the other 5 opened up so they fit there as well. Weird how they'll pass through one side and not the other. Only needs opened like 1 bit size.

I haven't heard any horror stories of these (or any of the Suzuki G series motors) giving problems with the stock head bolts in a naturally aspirated scenario - or for that matter - low boost.

I would think overkill, but it's your motor, and your experience, so you get to choose.
