you don't have to take the box out. slide the studs in the holes that the box hill interfere with, holding them up with some heavy diameter o rings to keep the studs up , then carefully place the head on the block. thread in a few studs in the front for saftey then remove the o rings that you installed earlier , thread the studs in , install the washers and nuts after coating the upper threads hith molly grease included with the studs and torque to 125 ft. lbs. good luck, it's a tight fit but hith patience it will go well.

thanks for sharing that bit of wisdom. I just filed it away for the "someday" I might need it. I just love it when someone shares a bit of experience.
