Put together my 418 SB stroker. My machine shop removed the head dowels and didn't replace them after working on the block.
Will my head studs be enough to keep them straight or should I take the heads back off and install the head dowels?

I wasn't concerned about it until a Chevy guy last night told me about some trouble he had with no dowels and using bolts.

Just wondering, I'm wanting to drop motor in today.

GO OR NO-GO ???
