Sorry to hijack, or is this what is being asked. Will i be able to get the heads on with studs and the motor in the car with a/c and everything else? Has anyone done this? Whats your suggestion? Last time i did the heads i used arp bolt, but with the new motor i would like to use studs.

Worse comes to worse, can't you just screw in the studs with the heads placed on the block? The actual clamping doesn't occur until you fasten the nut.

studs are awesome, unless one gets bent out of line.. then whoa man, have fun... AGGRAVATING as hell. i recommend studs, but i dont re-use the nuts when i remove the heads. i always buy new nuts (some dont, but they dont seem to torque right if not)
