Just bought a 06 stroke... is there a way to tell if the head studs were replaced?

You can see the lower head studs or bolts on either side of the engine. Look at the valve cover then follow the rocker arm carrier...''the thing under the valve cover'' to the head. their will either be a big bolt with a head or if it is studed it will be a 12 point nut on a stud.:wink[3]:

I doubt it. Unless you pay for the upgraded one, which isn't a bad deal.

Ford will put the stock style bolts back in, unless you talk to the service manager or tech and ask them if you supply the ARP studs, can they put them in instead.
