also i was wondering if the stock head bolt can be reused
Yes Sir you can.. Some will say no but if you do it right they can and will torque higher than spec.
I just retorqued the stock motor I put back in my truck.
I pulled each one (one by one). Cleaned , lubed with ARP thread lube, and then pulled to 100 ft. Lbs...
Then using the proper sequence, take them all up in 5 ft lb incriments...
I ended up at 145
That should hold a good bit of boost / hp
To bad you wont be making any...........
