Does anyone know if FE heads with studs in a Shelby block can be removed by first removing the studs ? How far into the block do the studs go ? I know that the heads cannot be removed with the studs in place, and some of the rear studs cannot be removed completely because of proximity to the foot wells. I was thinking those could be removed from the block but left sitting in the heads.
Also there is no room for my stud removal tool, would have to double nut studs to pull them out.
Has Anyone done this ?
