340 HP exhaust manifold bolts, where can I get em?

[bighammer]

It looks to me like I will need new (specific for the 340) bolts to install my new HP manifolds on to my 360.... Any idea where I could get a set of them?

Thanks

Get a hold of Tom here I purchased them from him before. he is in Olympia and the cost was the best price I found at the time plus he's close. It should be just two special bolts that you'll need.

Thank you both! Just what I need!

And to complete the effect,, here's the gskt you need with the left side manifold..

Perhaps someone might know a more reasonable source..?

those gaskets/shield is expensive. every now and then you can catch a blemished one in the 80$ area, or used but ugh.

here is a blem for 119 or w/ a make offer on it.

What???! Do I really need a special gasket and heat shield? The gasket isn't different right? And the shield to protect the plug wires? Is this necessary?

Don't need that spendy gasket...show car stuff

 

[bighammer]

Run it with std gaskets and no shields?

 

[Rocky_JS]

agreed not necessary for the swap just make sure the wires are tight in the loom to keep them pulled away from exhaust manifold.

Yup

 

[Rocky_JS]

No gaskets needed IF both surfaces still show original surfacing or close to it and are straight. That's how it was done and that's what I've done. Do use the special conical washers on the outboards. Do check the threads to be sure the bolt does not run out of room or thread. I've just continued to use regular hex nuts on the studs even after I bought the special long nuts. So that's worked for me. YMMV.

The maninfold to head pipe does need gasket. Both Accurate and TTI sell the correct size (hard to get at parts stores in my experience). However their gaskets are not the same. I can not say whether one is better than the other, just that they are different.
