Default Head swap

Just wondering if there is enough room to install the heads on an engine with an ARP stud kit without having to lower the engine at all? If not I'm going to just go with a bolt kit.

What are your ideas on the bolt kits, OEM or ARP?

You'll thank your self again if you have to remove the heads because you wont have to clean any coolant out of the threads in the block.

It can be tight in the cowl area but be careful and it's good as conan said.
