Are you asking how to best attach the exhaust manifolds, what brand or style bolts?

If so I like the Stage 8's, they are a PITA but they do work. The Breslins were easier to install but are no longer made.

Whenever I fasten down the manifold bolts I just use an elbow extention which then you can tackle the bolts from an angle. You may need too people if that doesn't work out. Somone on top with the extention and somone underneath feeding the bolt into the hole.

With a wrench! haha Well manifolds are a complete pain in the ***, take em out and install headers. But try using a short extension and a deep socket. something that gets over the manifold. thats probably your best bet
