What else do I need for header swap?

Are these the NGK TR55's. I'm going to change the plugs this weekend when I do my longtubes.
Edit: found them on ws6store.com
I have already ordered wires, and collector gaskets. I need to know which header gaskets you guys reccomend. Also do I reuse the stock bolts or buy new header bolts. Thanks

I use these NGKs:

You might consider using "socket head" stainless steel bolts (a hex wrench
is used to tighten these). These beat using a standard hex head bolt. It
literally took me 3 minutes to re-tighten all 12 header bolts (timed it).
I bought a total of 12 one inch socket head stainless bolts for $5.50. Yes,
that is $5.50 - these are the exact same bolts you will see in Sears or
in ACE True Value hardware for $2.00 each. I went to my local "fastener"
store (they cater mostly to wholesale businesses) and bought them.

How are those plugs working for you? I think I'll get those and the 1470 gaskets. Thanks. I think I'll check those bolts out when I have some time I just really want to do the install this weekend and want to get everything ordered that I need so its here on time. Those bolts look great though. I want them.

I installed the Kooks. I understand your eagerness to get the headers
installed. You might want to check the Yellow Pages (maybe SuperPages.com)
and enter "fastener" in the 'Search field' for your area. (think 'fastener' as
in bolts and so forth).
If your headers come with bolts, use those for now (mine came with bolts),
if you feel you dont have time to find a fastener store. It wouldnt hurt to
go to Sears or a hardware store and get a couple of the stainless bolts I
mention and try them out next to the other bolts. Cant hurt to try.

Plugs work great. I ran a set over 20k and recently installed a new set when
I installed the Kooks. I understand your eagerness to get the headers
installed. You might want to check the Yellow Pages (maybe SuperPages.com)
