Not that I know of for the head studs... not too many engines use 3/8 studs for heads! While the price of the ARP kit seems high, they actually cost less than a full set of new stock studs .... and of course the ARP kit includes the rocker pedestal studs and all needed nuts and washers.

Is there a similar parts compatibility for the head studs for a 1275 A+? Would love to source a cheap set of ARP head studs

make sure you note that the price is per bolt, so be sure to order enough.

Indeed! I've often pointed out how ARP is a "Parts Bin", from which all sorts of "kits" are built. This is disappointing for folks who imagine ARP technicians come to work to build studs for our A-series engines!
Recently helping a customer understand why the ARP main stud set for A+ engines REQUIRES modifications to the main caps and/or the transmission case and/or the studs themselves.... explained that I recognized the studs in the kit as small block Chevrolet head studs!

That is super cheap.
I have used ARP 155-6002 Ford FE (big block) bolts in Cooper S rods for years. Fit straight in, no mods needed.
Under 1/2 the price of an ARP Cooper S set here in Oz, and you get 16 bolts not 8!
