it would be a good idea. Get stage 8 locking header bolts. that way the headers will not come loose

You can reuse the stock bolts. Clean them up a little if you like, and use ani-seize (sp?).
You can get the gasket from any dealer and I'm sure most of our sponsors could get them to you as well.

Are you installing these in an LT1 or LS1? I noticed you already started a different thread to ask about O2 extensions for an LT1. You can ask more than one question in a single thread ya know.

Where can i get headerbolts at anyone...and no one has still told me where to get 02 extensions....i plan on just getting the gaskets from a local GM dealer i guess since eveyrone has pretty much said that

Verdad Gallardo All these guys are giving you advice assuming you had an LS1. Pacesetter LS1 headers come with new ones but we usually reuse the stock bolts. This may not be the case with LT1's.
I'll move your threads to the LT1 section where you may get more help.

I bought the Breslin locking header bolts just for safe measure. Price is kinda high for some bolts, but it's all good.

You bought intake bolts for the exhaust???
I also bought Breslin. BY FAR worth every penny to me. It makes the install ALOT easier. The reason install is alot easier is because they're 12 point and you can get the boxed end of the wrench on eaaaaasy. I could not find the right ones on summit or jegs so here's breslins contact #'s. Call them and ask for part# 600-101, those are 3/8 - 16x1" long, there are 12 of them. Hope that helps if you go that route.BTW......those intake bolts will work too (they're the same dementions.
) But the 600-101's are stainless and will NOT rust. better choice if you want the looks or if you ever had to take them out.
