After doing a head gasket and valve spring swap i cant get the passenger side head on with the bottom head stud in on the left. The stud is to long and it hits the inner fender so i cant get it in, ive tried puttin the head on with the stud at the same time, but still wont work. I also tired putting the stud in first then the head but the headers get in the way then. Its just that one stud one the bottom left passenger side that i want to swap with a bolt instead of a stud.

Is it possile to run one ARP head bolt and the rest all ARP head studs?? or is that a bad idea?

 

That will work, but the big question is, do you torque the bolt the same as the studs. Torque specs are usually different for the two.

 

Will not be a problem, torque to 65#'s with ARP moly on all fasteners, remember to run moly coated studs into block with T-handle allen, then back off 1/2 turn, do not allow studs to remain bottomed out in stud boss. After good heat cycle, recheck torque.
