well then your set. get that head to a shop and have them inspect it for warpage and such. get it pressure tested and hot tanked for piece of mind. obviously a new head gasket is recommended and head studs. and your engine is now together.
what do the cylinder walls look like? upload pics if you can.

Then you may want to get your block checked out too. Since the previous owner most likely beat on it because it has forged internals, a rebuild might be the better decision in the long run. Let your machinist recommend what you should have them do.
Curious, what's the rationale behind using a shorter stud? I've heard the cost argument before, but seriously...it's only 20 bux. And the OP's already planning to buy the right ones.
