D10E BA?

Ive got a set of D10E heads that i bought for a '93 351w but im getting confused with stud sizes and such
I dont even know where to begin. The more i look indepth i dont think i have heads that will work on my engine.
Also i bought a set of 3/8 stud roller rockers and found that the rocker nuts are too big for the threads on the heads
I realize that im suppost to replace the fitted studs with threated studs but shouldnt the rocker nut still fit?
I dont know what kind of head i need or what i need to do exactly
Help?

What did you pay for these early heads? Do they have hardened valve seats?

No those aftermarket rockers won't work on the factory studs, and you don't need to replace those studs unless you're planing to use heavy springs and a high lift cam.
