Head Stud Q...

It won't matter, all the large studs will stick out the same length (just that your 4 longer ones will set deeper in the block). I know my heads have been milled a bunch and I don't have gaskets yet, but my studs look to have an excessive amount of threads showing when the heads are sitting in place...

Dan, thanks for checking!
I'm seeing 1 1/4" to the shoulder and 2 5/8" overall height. These would be the no-name E-Bay specials. No flames please, this will be a n/a motor and I don't like torquing steel bolts into aluminum threads. Aside from being longer, these are nice looking pieces. My main concern is possible interference with headers, but that'll be much later.
