Absolutely. Wish I knew about the steel studs in 97 when I did top end. Lots of data came from Don at EBS. I bought Raceware but the cost was so less prohibitive then. Plus, I had a good job.
Through bolts are not required. The seals are a good add and you can do that on a top end only job.
However, for a comprehensive list of how much one can get carried away, through bolts are at least a consideration.
