So you asking why he would replace his head bolts, with head studs and not install a forged bottom end? Oh I dunno, maybe because studs are only a few bucks more than bolts and yanking the motor and installing a forged bottom end would cost thousands. It's kinda like having a 500hp 5.0 on the stock block. You know it's gonna go eventully, but you don't have 1300 for a Dart block. Same thing. Doesn't mean he's a moron when it comes to cars
