should the head studs for a alum. block have a longer thread engagement than for an iron block? You should use the studs designed for the block and yes they might have much more engagement.

KB is a different animal ... Yea, they are really built. The main caps have studs that are 5/8" in the aluminum block, and tapered to 9/16" through the caps. Way bigger than the factory 1/2" main studs.
