Do not use them.....

You cannot long stud a 205 block.
There are a few running around that power with std headbolts.

I still would not use them. There are many threads on the escort cosworth forum regarding them.

Cossie head has 17thou of expansion and contraction in use hence why cosworth and ford used stretch type bolts. ARP do not stretch and can and will loosen over time.

Hope this helps.
