Bolts with Headers??
Bolts with Headers?? I just bought some pacsetter headers and 8 of the bolts are the same size and four are a different size. This is normal right?? Also the guy that sold em told me that locking bolts would be better, but i don't want to get the locking i just want to use the ones that came with them. Will i have any problems with the bolts?

Agreed....re-use your stockers. I'm using ARP header studs, but the engine is out of the car, and stripped to the bare block, so they'll be a piece of cake to install.
Remember...steel fastener/tapped aluminum hole...use a SMALL DAB of Never Seize (or equivalent) on the fastener threads, and you won't have to worry about strippin' out a hole. No, they won't loosen or back out.....I've done two installs this way, and no problems.........

The rear two bolts on each side of the engine can be a bich. I found that a 10mm swivel-head, ratcheting box wrench made it easier to get to 'em.

if you look at the bolt grade on your stockers and the ones pace setter gives you i beleive the stock is 10.5 and pacesetters is 8.5... thus use your stockers, its a better bolt
