Patrick is correct. I have ARP studs in the block with ARP nuts which I think is different. The #8 cylinder bottom right head bolt would hit the foot box as well as the head when lifting off of the studs. I will try to post some pics tonight. It won't be that big of a deal to pull since I am this far along. It's the old "one thing leads to another!"
I bought a tube of the Motorcraft TA -31 for the intake so is the consensus to use that instead of the cork, which seemed to leak like a pig!
Sage advice is always appreciated as my learning curve is steeper than most of you.
I cannot even get a extension on socket on the head bolt. Even if I could, I could not lift the head up high enough to clear the stud. No worries as it has given me the opportunity to polish all those hard to get to aluminum places!
