When replacing the head in my 36 Ford, one of the 21 studs sheared about a quarter inch below the level of the block. Any suggestions on how I can get this out?

Don't drill it. See the link below: http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/studremoval.htm Alan

Removing a stud broken off below the head surface is not a job for the inexperienced. More often than not, it results in a broken and/or an off center hole when drilling. If you break off a bit or "easy out" in the stud, it takes a specially hardened bit to fix it. We did one a couple of weeks for a customer. The bit, alone, was two hundred bucks. Consult a good shop before you try. Replacing all old studs when replacing heads is always recommended.
