Sorry, but head bolts question on VG30ET

So first quick, I've never even signed up to a forum before, so if this a topic thats been covered, just point me in the right direction? I searched the forum best I could for this topic but... I'm about to do a head gasket replacement on my 87 VG30ET and I was considering using head studs instead of bolts so that I can push my engine a little in the future. I read somewhere and can't find it again, that to install head studs on the VG, you have to pull the engine for clearance reasons? Does that sound right, or is it possible to install studs without the engine bay getting in the way? Thanks!
