ok engine guys, im getting ready to tear into my engine, im putting gt-40 heads, cobra upper and lower intake and a new cam (plus all the other bolt on stuff that goes with it, injectors, tb, maf...etc) im not planning on re-building the sortblock unless i have to, my question is, do i need to get new bolts for everything??? if so, would i be better off to go with studs as im probly gonna have to re-build the engine in a few years, and also, can new bolts be re-used if i go that route??? and help/tips for this build would be great, thanks

Bolts

Head bolts have to be replaced because they stretch. Possibly water pump bolts depending on the amount of corrosion or if you break them.
