the OP is rebuilding his car and sound like he wants a good job doing so for the cost of some bolts i would just put them in.
i put arp stud and nut kit on mine and had a HG fail running about 30psi so put ford bolts back in and never had a problem
so imo ford head bolts and i would put arp rod bolts in mate
I think for the cost of a zetec and Megasquirt i would use one of those instead TBH, but then i can build, wire, get running and map an engine so there is no probs there
