Re: Headers?
check out remflex gaskets. http://catalog.remflex.com/category_s/76.htm
I'm not sure about bolts, I think Dorman has some but arp are known for quality.

You done good, son
I used 3/8-16 X 7/8 Zinc Aluminum coated socket head cap screws (91274A304 McMaster Carr) and coated the threads with a high temperature silicone gasket sealer. SHCS's get a bad rap on this forum for the most part but from repairing industrial equipment a good part of my career (necessity not actual career) you will find nothing better.
Might have to adjust the length per your particular flange thickness the FMS I used had a 1/4" flange

Ya was too good a deal to pass up.
Flange thickeness is .4"

get remflex gaskets (part number 3003). they seem to be working the best, and buy some arp header bolts part number 400-1110.

Re: Headers?
I vote get them coated. see if you can get inside and outside done. Thanks Cody, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a set of these and check with a local shop about getting inside/outside coated and possibly my Y pipe. depends on buget. I think coating new parts will be easier/cheaper than used after carbon builds up inside.

From what I've had done on bikes I think it is, ceramic coating helps keep them new looking and reduces the exterior temps on them
