If the block is a new one yes you will need the 04 and up studs, they are shorter I believe. I would check on a few of the sponsors websites to see who has the best prices. The are in the $250 range. They are well worth it too. Check TSP and Thunder.

Studs make it much easier to place the head and gasket on and get a perfect alignment too. Plus not having to clean the bolt holes everytime you pull the heads is enough justification for studs. Cleaning bolt holes is PITA.
