18mm and 20mm.

You also need to use the corresponding rocker boxes and injector hold downs that match whatever heads you're using. The blocks are different too, they used 18mm and 20mm blocks, but then all of the heads switched over to 20mm as part of the parts commonization when they moved the the 6.4 platform (they basically use the exact same head). So really you need to know what head's and what block you're using and make sure you have all of the correct parts to swap.

The kit includes head bolts, not studs as well. I would strongly recommend NOT using the factory head bolts and go to ARP headstuds.
