Talking I have figured out the cure to blown head gaskets
After, many many nights, cold beers, I have figured it out. All you have to do is weld the head to the block. You would either need to switch the block to aluminum or switch the heads to steel. Easy as that

I think you could also use HVAC tape. It is pretty good chit.

JB weld with studs would be a pretty stout combo. good luck on the rebuild.

it would work but you would also have to put access panels on the side of the block if you ever needed to inspect the valves
