as long as the original bolts and gaskets are in good condition yes you can reuse them

I didn’t wanna chance anything when I installed mine. Went ahead and used new MLS gaskets and ARP 12-point bolts. Stock manifold bolts aren't known for being the strongest things in the world.

They're more than adequate for holding any headers on.....they arent trying to lift a tank.
