        bring the block to a machine shop or buy a bare ls block, if you need a bare block i got one with main caps

          you need helicoils, you can get a set on autozone or advance auto.. you will basically tap the block to fit the Helicoil, and the helicoil will grab the stud.. google helicoil up so you can see the images and have an idea of how to use them
          ..

            Heliocoils are actually stronger then oem threads so thats your best bet.

            I would still be very sketch to do that i mean they do need to hold 80ftlbs which is alot.

            Good luck
