Tim:

I have been using 60 ft/lbs on my 1147s with ARP studs/nuts and a Payen
gasket.  I pull to 60 with 3 pulls of 20, 40, then 60.  I let the head sit
overnight (cold) then retorque to 60 again.  Since following this process I
have had no issues with head gaskets.

The ARP numbers for the studs are:
        
Head Stud - AJ 4.250-1SFB
Nut - AJN 12-1
Washer - AJW 750N

They can be ordered from Summit Racing along with the 10 stud 1500/1296 kit.

Checking on what folks are using for torque spec on head nuts?

1147cc
Spitfire with studs upgraded to 7/16" ARP and Payen gasket.

Also if anyone
knows what the ARP partnumber is for the 7/16" studs. 
I'm guessing they are
the same as the GT6/TR6 kit but would like to know for sure.

Thanks,
Tim
