I bought a brand new head and it came in today so my car will hopefully be back on the streets by next weekend. I did not buy new head studs would it be alright to use the old ones for a little bit while i get some money to get new ones? I know that they streach this is why i am asking. Also if anyone would like to help me this weekend with this project I would greatly appricate it. Please let me know
-------------------- Up and running. For now at least.

You can still thread studs in even with the head still on the block. Just put 'em in the holes and thread them in. The torque load doesn't come in until you thread the nuts on top of the studs. You could possibly have head gasket sealing problems afterward though, since you will be taking the torque load off the gasket while the bolts are out.
