    that tranny nut

    That sounds right to me! I can lift my trans up about .5" so we have about the same play.. No worries!

    that tranny nut

    No it's supposed to have play....your transmission and motor need to be able to flex together so the trans is a bit loose...I installed a new transmount and thought it would tighten things up but it wobbled the same as the old mount!

    Strip exhaust studs in head

    yes n/a heads are the same accept the cams which can be swaped between the two....yes the oven will anneal the head but if they cool the head down properly then it will actually regain its strength....usually its cheaper to find another head...

    that tranny nut

    that isnt actually a nut....its the retainer so if the rubber fails the transmission wont fall out and go sparkling down the road..kinda like how the motor mounts are set up if the rubber rots away the motor will rock side to side but wont fall out.

    Strip exhaust studs in head

    Then it wasn't a helicoil!! Helicoils can't unravel cause they are hardened tool steel they will snap before then uncoil! Sounds like it was the aluminum threads themselves came out with the studs.... And when doing helicoils please for the love of god take the head to a machine shop and...
