Just get some bolts and gaskets from your parts store. If the header flanges are straight, it wont matter what gasket you use.

I liked the stage 8 locking header bolts. I found the allen head inserts to be really useful in the tight area around the headers.

i ordered the fel pro 1406 gaskets from ws6store a few months ago, they had the best price when i looked around. make sure you get 5/16" headed bolts, 3/8" won't fit unless you ding the primaries, thats the one part i didn't do enough research on so it bit me in the ***.

Thanks. Are those the 3/8 blue was talking about or 5/16 I don't get why both are listed on it? But they'll work no dinging?

3/8 is the thread size 5/16 is the head size they are what you need.

I picked these up from autozone when I did my headers last year. I don't have anything bad to say about them, they work for me.

I used the $9 spectres to. No leaks and I used my 1/4" drive ratchet on most of them. No need to spend $30 on header bolts.

Question

I used the bolts that came with the headers (pacesetters) and felpro 1406 gasket. Just make sure you use lock washers and retighten the bolts after a couple heat cycles. Do this until the bolts are tight after heat cycles. Don't do it while the engine is hot...

I tried stage 8s and did not like them. Putting those clips on = annoying.
