Installing headers. What header gaskets to use? What bolts? Tried search, but it just pulls up crap about LT1's.
Okay, bought used QTP longtubes. Do I reuse the OEM gaskets or get new ones. If so which kind?
Are the locking header bolts from Stage8 or Breslin worth it or just snake oil?
Don't want to waste money on something I don't really need.
What works?

I got new GM gaskets when I did mine. A lot of people reuse them without problems, but I figured for the extra 20-something bucks, I'd make sure I wouldn't have to deal with leaks. As for the bolts, I reused my stockers after I cleaned them up a little bit.

I can't wait till they get it fixed again. I like the good ol days of searching for what I need and not having to type up posts.
Thanks for the replies fellas. I think I'm gonna go with the stock gaskets.
I don't know what I'll use for bolts yet except that they'll be stainless.

Reused the stock gaskets quite a few times with no issues. One at least one set of my headers the stock bolts were too long and I had to put a washer under them to reuse them.
