The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Replace head studs when adding new Edelbrock heads?

I see that Edelbrock and ARP offer head studs 3.15" long and that the stock head studs are 3.09", only 1/16" difference. Any thoughts on whether it's necessary or advisable to change head studs when adding these aftermarket aluminum heads to a stock engine?
