I have just removed 96 studs from two V8 engines, all came out with no drama.
Step one, cut off all studs about 3/4 inch up from block with a 4 in angle grinder with a cutoff wheel,
step two, get a pile of old head nuts and drill them out to 7/16ths.
step three, slip the drilled out nuts over the cut off studs,
step four, big weld the nuts onto the cutoff studs.
Step five, when they have cooled use a rattle gun and rattle them out.
