sorry for leaving this one hanging... i finally got that to thread in.. i knew i had the right one... but it just was being a PITA just like the rest of the build... but the car is good... just needs a tune.... im constantly retorqing the header bolts down... i cant wait till the 500 mile mark and a dyno tune... i cant wait to see what she puts down on the dyno.. and at the track... i just hope i never hear... BOOM!!! than silence...

Shouldve bought the Breslin locking header bolts . Or actually theyre called
Percys locking header bolts now since the owner of Breslin passed away a
while back . Anyways buy some Percys Stainless locking header bolts and you
will NEVER have a header bolt back out again . Thats the only header bolts I use
on my cars and the LT1s I build for other people . Here is the exact ones you need....

That is a good idea but as you go through heat cycles on brand new gaskets the gasket compresse more. If you use them you just run 4 or 5 full heat cycles and then retorque them.
