Can heads and studs be replaced with motor in car?

[Shorthorse]

Looking to replace my head gaskets and install head studs on my wagon. Can the cylinder heads be removed and re-installed with head studs with the engine in the car? It looks like it may be tight. Can the heads be set in place and the studs be threaded into the block afterwards? 440 in a 67 Coronet.

Not sure about your headers but I had a slight issue with my TTI's and head studs. It was the bolt positions just below exhaust ports of the header flange. The studs extended just high enough to contact the flange and keep it from lining up. It was down to either grinding the flange or putting bolts back in those holes.

Good point, I'll have to look at how close they are now.
