A lot of people do not like to use them as a lot of people have had cracked blocks from using them. Whether this is purely because people did not know the torqueing values correctly or otherwise I don't know, hence why I said be careful with them
It does seem to only be on big BHP cars though

I specifically went for this because my 205 block cracked between the head bolts and the water jackets 
and i thought this was supposed to be a lot stronger and avoid this! 
Surely as the studs are longer and you are not turning them whilst torqueing down, its going to be stronger?
Ive been told you can torque down more with this type of block, hence safely running more boost?

you'll need the head machining for them nuts as you wont be able to get a socket on the nuts in the head (as i found out when i was fittin the head, only to have to strip all the valves out again to clean after machining 
) you only need a couple of mil machining out round the 6 head bolt holes for clearance. this shouldn't cost much at a local machine shop. best of luck with the re build

Machining the socket down is fine and will work so long as you make sure its a good quality socket in the first place,
Unless of corse you have a 3dr head in which case you will have to do some work to the head
Those studs look like they could be upside down though????
Hard to tell from that photo so could be wrong,
