Before you helicoil your block, do some research on sealing the studs. I have read that it is a problem area in flathead v8s.
There is a guy in a Ford V8 forum that goes by the name of "rumbleseat". He has posted widely and is very knowledgeable.

I would just be a bit concerned about the teflon letting the studs over tighten, causing distortion.
I have read that the piston to bore clearance is markedly different depending on the use(or not) of a torque plate. Apparently the flatties are weak in this area, and care needs to be taken. A teflon type sealant with the low friction co-efficient might just force that casting out of shape. I too have used the loctite thread sealant for years, and find it a magic product. Just not sure in this application.

I posted a topic on the V8 forum and have been advised to TIG weld a washer onto the stud then melt a load of parafin wax around the stud (so it seeps into the stud hole) then weld a nut onto the washer...if i use an impact gun it should spin the stud out.
Richie, Use this method to get them busted off head studs outta your bren gun motor. Instead of the Kroil mentioned in the article, I use a candle. Hold the candle to the hot welded washer/nut arrangement, the parafin melts and flows down the threads better than anything else I've tried. This system works extremely well and eliminates the need for helicoils. Regards, Brian http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/studremoval.htm
