Get u some felpro 1400's from summit and use bolts. I have never used studs so I really cant say if they would work better or not. I have never had a problem with bolts in 14 years of playing with these cars.

From what I understand you can't remove the heads in the car if you have studs in, so I am gonna say go with bolts

i can vouch for that boost, when we dropped my engine in there last weekend, man was it tight. im talking like 1/2 inch of clearence between the ac box and the back AND middle header studs. i had arp send me some longer studs for the top so thats why there isnt much room in there.good thing that i put in the solid copper gaskets, they shouldnt blow out. im thinking if i ever have to replace the gaskets/ headers ill have to mount another nut on the stud and pull the stud out. or undo all the mounts and lift the engine up.
oh i see now, i think vortech is talking about HEAD studs, im talking bout HEADER studs buickbert

i have the sce copper gaskets on my new motor so i havent tried them out on the gn, but i also have some on my big block skylark with no problems. i burned through two set of the "grape" before i got the copper ones and like i said no problems.
boost, yup those are the same ones that i put on my car. im not too familiar with the hot air headers but like i said the headers for my 87 require longer studs for the tops. the ones that i got are way too long but they will work fine. lemme see if i have a pic that i can post showing how long they are. buickbert
