Will the stock manifolds bolts work on headers or do I need to pick some up? What do you guys recommend for gaskets, something thats not going to blow out in a week?

You can reuse stock everything.

Actually the stock header gaskets are the best.

If your stock gaskets look a little beat, pick up some new GM ones for peace of mind. When I installed my Kooks, I re-used my stock gaskets. When I put on my new heads, I put on new gaskets on for that peace. But only if your stockers are in rough shape.

I reused stock gaskets and have no had a problem yet. I had planned on using the new bolts that came with my Pacesetters but I forgot them at home so I just reused the stockers and again have had no problems.

+1 for the stock gaskets/bolts! wish you could reuse the stock 02s on race headers. you have to get the corvette ones though, or get extensions!

Stage 8 SS locking bolts, they do NOT back out.
