Head stud question
Hey,
so this weekend I will be installing a ported FAST 90/90, AFR 205's and a G5X3. I was planning on using cometic head gaskets and maybe running ARP head studs. I was wondering if the head studs can be installed with the engine in the car? And with the studs in, can the heads be installed with the motor in the car. Just curious because I know that there are many motors that must be removed if you have using studs.
Thanks

Yes, you can install them with the engine in the car, and yes, there is plenty of room to slide the heads on and off with the studs in place.
Here's a pic of them installed before heads went on.
