Before you helicoil your block, do some research on sealing the studs. I have read that it is a problem area in flathead v8s.
There is a guy in a Ford V8 forum that goes by the name of "rumbleseat". He has posted widely and is very knowledgeable.

I would just be a bit concerned about the teflon letting the studs over tighten, causing distortion.
I have read that the piston to bore clearance is markedly different depending on the use(or not) of a torque plate. Apparently the flatties are weak in this area, and care needs to be taken. A teflon type sealant with the low friction co-efficient might just force that casting out of shape. I too have used the loctite thread sealant for years, and find it a magic product. Just not sure in this application.
