"I've always heard you can't swap the heads while in the car if you have
studs. Is there any truth in this? A friend said you can do a head
swap with studs whith the motor still in the car. Is thsi true?"
You can, it is just a bit more of a pain. I've done it several times on different cars with head studs.

Yeah if you use head studs, I would say the best way to get the studs out would be to double nut them. Just put 2 nuts on the same stud and wrench on the bottom on to get the studs out. Also, I would use blue loctite on the side of the stud in the block.

do the studs not come out of the block very easily once you've torqued them down once? seems like they would come out easy since they're only hand tight to begin with.

Never Torque Studs into the block NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR...do a search for a recent thread that shows some good pics why not to.
I just re-installed my ARP studs yesterday. They say hand tight but I snug them with a socket wrench..just because I can't live with hand tight. Remember...shorter studs go on the outside corners too...there are 4 of them.
