Why is it that these sets are only sold with 12 bolts and not 16 like we need. I found some for a decent price and the only way i can get the right amount is to by to sets of 12. Has anyone else noticed this, it would be nice to get some so i can get started on my header/exhaust build.

do you have an ACE hardware there? they have a great selection of fasteners.

 

[TravisITGuy]

actually i do question is how do i know what thread type and size? the bolts are 3/8ths right?

 

[MikE2]

3/8" x16, aka coarse thread. Get the 3/4" long bolts if you have thin flanged headers and the 1" long bolts for flanges thicker then 1/4"

Any hardware store should have them. Usually $1.00 to $1.20 each.

Make shure they are grade 8, and you use high temp anti-sieze on them too.

They sell them in sets of 12 becouse thats what the chevys take, and they use the same bolts as the SBF

well, they don't sell them individually to my knowledge, but a bag of 20 is probably around 5 bucks.

Also some stores have tools and run decent sells on the weekends

If you want, I have a set of stage 8 1" long ones, the ones that Ford racing sells, you can have em cheap.

FWIW I got 2 sets at Checker or Autozone for like $12-14. The extras even came in handy once.

i will be going to the local hardware store to get my headers bolts and was wondering if i should also use lock washers?
