Headers?

I've run Flow-Tech steel shorties on my stock 5.7, then put JBA ss shorties on my 383, then upgraded again to JBA 1 5/8" Long Tubes... I have to say... Long Tubes is where its at! Been there Done That!!!!

Yup. Use the correct bolts. Hardened bolts rust just like everything else but can't be drilled out as easy if they break.

Also, if your bolts won't go in, your manifold might be warped. They make a tool just for this.

So whenever I get bolts I was gonna order some from rockauto, along with the other misc stuff. Are those bolts not right? How do I know what to look for?

Those are grade 8, but I don't see a mark for hardening, so they ought to be fine.

Awesome thanks for the tips.

If this fitting is messed up what are my options? I'm only asking because it looks pressed or screwed in and didnt know if it was serviceable

The sealing surface looks fine in this pic. Are the threads too boogered? It's replaceable, just be sure and screw in a steel fitting, not aluminum nor brass to replace it.

I think there fine just wanna have a plan b in place incase the Nics throw off the hose. I didnt know how far you could rebuild a manifold

Where would you get a fitting like that from?

What am I looking at? Is that the EGR fitting in the manifold?

Regardless, I would run the proper threading die over it and be done with it.
