[DeTomaso] Head bolts

[shelbygt]

If it were me, I'd save the money.  Hard to beat the original Ford stuff 
unless the heads have been on and off a dozen times.  Later style headbolts, 
however, are REQUIRED to be replaced as once they've been torqued I believe 
they're somehow stretched or distorted.

My 2 cents.  You may get a different response from other forum members who 
know a heck of a lot more than me.
