Well that certainly is great to know. Thanks for your help! I’ll ensure I get the correct ones when they inevitably break. 😁

I’ve removed these before and it takes some effort but can be done. Although I did it by tightly jamming two nuts together, I understand that there is a stud removal tool that might make it easier. I’ve never used one so don’t know how well they work.

I used one of these stud extrators I got from autozone, though you can get them online. It was pretty easy on my 327, though I only used it on a couple of studs. It was much easier than the double-nut approach.

After using many types of stud removers I've come to much prefer those of this type, this particular example by KD Tools. Just reverse the knurled wheel at the bottom to convert it to a stud installer.

You may want to give serious consideration to having the machine shop remove the studs. They can easily break off, especially the ones that screw into a water jacket. Extracting a broken stud can be tedious, time consuming and stressful work. Good advice about the different stud threads. A couple of hours of machine shop time to remove the studs may be a bargain in the long run. However, if cost is a factor then the stud remover O-D suggested would be the one to use. Also, apply a good penetrating oil and allow it to soak in for a couple of days. Kroil is a good product for this. Some heat and impact vibration will also help, but this takes experience and care. Damaged threads will have to be repaired with Helicoil or similar inserts Good luck.

I was going to buy one of the extractors of the type that Dave (Owen_Dyneto) suggested and may still do so but according to online reviews, it is quite bulky and requires space around the stud to work. That may mean starting the removal at one end, then working toward the other. It also marks the studs from the straight knurled device that grabs them. There are a number of other types of stud removers that, while more expensive, do not damage the studs at all.

The Autozone one does not damage the stud, if you make sure the "jaws" are operating on the non-threaded portion, which is easy to do in this case. It can also be operated "backwards" to act aa a stud installer. It is reasonably compact and radially symmetric.

Yes, the Autozone tool is similar in functionality and appearance to those made by Snap-on and is quite compact. I was, of course, referring to the other type that Dave suggested.
In fact, I may have to use the Autozone or similar type on my 1951 as I see that some of the studs have been replaced by bolts and I would like to TRY to put studs back in without removing the head! I'm not sure if it's possible but worth a try.
