Can someone tell me the correct bolts needed for the ram horn style exhaust manifolds?

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts
Gah! I just dealt with this last week. I needed 3/8x16 bolts in 2.25" and 2.75" lengths. Since those are such oddball lengths I just got 3 inch and 2.5 inch bolts with thick washers to accommodate the quarter inch difference in length so I can tighten them into the head without damaging it.
I believe I needed 8 of the shorter bolts and 4 of the longer ones. I do hope this helps, but I was searching for the same information on here for an hour and wasn't able to get a definite answer. This was the best I could find. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts
Awesome!
The previous owner used different bolts and a lot of washers to make up the difference. Thanks!!!!! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts
I bought a bunch on 2 1/2s and cut them off to 2 1/4s with a band saw. worked great

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts
I went to a store named "Automotive Fasteners" just last week, they had the exact bolts I needed for mine, dont know if they are a national chain but you shoukd have something similar near you.

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts
I believe if you have factory A/C you'll need different bolts because the A/C bracket bolts to the manifold. I got my set from Classic Industries, but lots of vendors have them.
