I don't recall any 11 mm head studs but 12 mm ARP studs are available from Summit Racing supply & I think they are the cheapest source. I believe they are listed for a British Ford Cortina Coxworth, If I recall correctly. On my 1981 Dasher diesel I had to re-tap the block bolt holes to 12 mm. In doing this you have to be real careful to have your 12 mm tap perpendicular to the deck or top of the block. If someone has some suggestions on how to do this or some jig or tool that is available to do this please let us know.
