Default Mounting hardware for BBK LTs?

Just ordered a set of BBK LTs for my SS. My question, is the "mounting hardware" that's included in the kit also bolts for mounting to the head? If so, are they of quality, or should I order some. Or reuse the ones that come stock. (They look like crap guess I could clean them up.) I've looked at ARP studs, they're a little more than I was aiming to spend. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Any of the options you listed will be just fine.

Are these the bolts you were looking at?

People often confuse header bolts with head bolts, which can cost a couple hundred dollars.

Yes I've looked at those. I've read mixed reviews on them so I am unsure.
Thanks for the quick response.

Also, I see you're in mobile. I'm in Hattiesburg, MS, any LS based dyno shops around Mobile? I heard there was a good shop, but they closed?

I just moved down here a month ago, but I've been looking around. Pretty sure there are a couple in LA though, and maybe even one somewhat close in FL.

But yeah, a lot of people just reuse the stock bolts... the torque needed on the bolts is pretty low.
