ARP head studs
You can place the head on the block then thread in the studs on the driver's side. On the passenger's side though, you have to install the studs first, then place the head on because there isn't enough clearance to get the last bottom bolt in (with head on) due to the heater box.

Use masking tape around the upper part of the rear two studs on the passenger side to hold them in place and to keep them from falling through the head. Set the head in place (gasket is already down on the block). Remove the tape, start the studs (rears). Start the rest. BE PATIENT. You can't clean the holes enough, I used a piece of plastic tubing on the end of the compressor air gun to get deep into the hole.

I left off the 3 studs shown missing in the picture just to gain some extra clearance. I just dropped them in after the head was in position. I think I could have done it with all of the studs on anyway. The driver side head was no issue at all.
