What a *****. Sounds like you have stripped one of the head studs out. Maybe. It is not clear from your discription what exactly is going on. You say the stud itself is turning? You also say the the stud is stripped below the top 2-3 threads. This implys the nut is turning and the stud is fixed. Is it?
The heads are not a factor as they are only a spacer in the overall operation, ie bolting the heads and cylinders to the block. If you have had time serts or something equivalent installed in the case and are using good head studs and nuts there should be no problem. IF you did not have some kind of case saver/time serts installed in the case you are likely in for a more expensive education than you wanted. Also there is the possibilty that the studs broke. Again - oh well. SOrry.
