Default ATOMIC 4 ENGINE

Hello

I recently took the exhaust manifold off my A-4 engine and the studs
from the block came out also. I bought a stud replacement kit from
Moyer marine but the threaded end going into the block is 7/16 and
the hole in the block is about 5/8. Does anyone know how or if I can
replace the stud with such a large hole in the block. Is there a
bushing of some sort that would expand when threaded? If this fix is
all a pipe dream does anyone know where I can get a used block that is
rebuildable. Or a used engine in running condition?

Thanks for any help

There are thread inserts of several kinds on the market. This kind of
problem is fixable.
