Around $60.  Don't know how I left that out..

I purchased the Stud set from Dean which included the studs, nuts, and washers. 
 Seems like the set was around but don't quote me on that.

I was at Stan's place when he proudly pointed out the studs on one of his cars. 
 I figured that if Stan was proud and if Dean was selling, then it might not be 
a bad idea.  My old bolts didn't mind getting replaced either.

A nice advantage of the studs is remounting the head and head gasket.  You just 
slip the gasket / head over the mounted studs, then tighten them down.  
Everything lines up nicely.  I wish I could say the same thing about my new 
dash.  :)

Howdy,
Ryan Bird installed studs on his sweet, yellow 1600.  Seemed to work very well
for him.  Would give it a try myself except I just bought new head bolts for my
project.
