Default So what do I need ???

I have to pull my tranny out so i figured im going to get some mac's. What do I need besides new gaskets and a break-over bar, will I need new exhaust bolts? I figured the only pain in the *** will be to bust loose the exhaust bolts. Does any one have any tips that I may need??

you can
I got some looking bolts with clips...cant remember what kind when I did my macs. But this time around I went with kooks 1 7/8" headers and figured if I am gonna go all out I might as well go with ARP header studs. They cost about $100 I think and it makes installs easier since you can just slid the headers over the studs.
