I am not against it. But i was thinking maybe trying 14mm head studs and fire lock gasket. So i dont have to worry about sealing oil and coolant and re torquing the heads.
Maybe i start cheap and just do a basic 14mm head stud and open deck and see how far it takes me. I have a couple spare engines so i can try again. I think it may be better to start simple.

Do not do 14mm headstuds. There is not enough meat in the block. Stay with stock size L1900 or ARP 625's. You can do a CSS block or go to Darton MID sleeves with a MLS headgasket. It depends on what you want to do. Street car, stick with a MLS. There are downsides to everything. You have to pick the best solution for you.
