Hard to tell without being there and seeing how "loose" they are. Wobbly studs can be caused by the threads in the block being worn down, or by the studs using a Class 2 thread fit instead of a Class 3, but I think the regular vendors all sell studs that fit closely.
I forgot to mention, the height of the washers will need to be added to the stud bore height.
If you need ARP studs, I think the P/N you want will be
AP3.750-1SB for all the studs except the water outlet studs. Not sure what length those would be, but it's possible the stock studs would work for those because no washer is needed on those two.
