Do you want new head bolts or willl a set of used head bolts work.  I'm sure I and several other forum members can put together a set of used head bolts for a 199 for you.  Joe

Joe is right, they should be easy to find as a used set. That said, there are many folks who would say that 40 year old head bolts will not hold their torque. I've heard that ARP could set you up with some?

well.. a set of used would be ok if no other options are available-- but definitely would prefer a new set to put my mind at ease in regards to the long run torque issues

HS1199 from Napa for Headbolts, cant find anything on the Napa online site but found this:
http://www.egge.com
and they have the headbolts listed under that part number... i'll call them in the day tomorrow..just thought i'd let y'all know the progress
