lbody headers...

Hey Isaac the Stage8 have a flat hex head and a hole for an allen also.

KFLO what did you use to tighten yours down?

[IsaacHayes]

Eric nah I don't want them totally flush, as then it breaks up the flow across that front area there where the bolts go anyway, and distracts from my chevy paint logo... I just want something smoother across the top. Flange stock bolts actually would look best I think painted black. I was thinking m8x65mm dome hex head with a washer under neath wouldn't be bad either. Normal socket cap hex look too small and tall.. Flat ones with a washer might look ok... Yeah I'm picky.

Wait 'til you see mine!!

Polished and flush.. This is CarShow stuff, but whatever you like !

I tightened my stage 8s down with a regular socket and ratchet while I was sitting on the floor in front of my engine and trand already put together.

I may not count.

I like the Stage 8s a lot, they may not be countersunk and such, but they aren't ever going anywhere once you get the lock clips assembled.

Now, lol at my raw steel flanges!

Yeah I can see if those clips stay they arent going anywhere... But I dont know if there is that much room around the bottom side of the rear header on my set after being modified. At least not much space to get a socket in there to tighten it down.

[Money pit Beretta]

Yes that is some very nice rust there KFLO.
3X00 you can see the hole for the allen in his photo. That should cure the room problem.

Stage8's bought. I liked the ability to tighten them with a socket and an allen. Oh, that and I've always wanted them. After all these years........ headers and Stage8's Now I just need to find some stock gaskets. All I can find is Fel-Pro.

Fel Pro are exactly the same as factory

Your 100% on this?

Yeah, I saw those Cliff. I would like a one piece gasket. If I had to I could cut the bottom out of the lower bolt hole and make it real easy to line up.

[3X00-Modified]

Yes I am.

I thought you had stock ones. Where did the other photo go?
Just want to make this a one time deal. I don't want to do it again. I won't have the time or money.

[3X00-Modified]

I have stock gaskets from a 04 3400 and the rear IIRC is from a 3500... Either way the stock gaskets are exactly the same as the Fel-pro ones.

I had a pic of a WOT-Tech gasket kit, but I thought this one showed the gasket itself better.

[Money pit Beretta]

And that it does. I still must ask why you are using a 3500 gasket in the rear.
Why are you using a 3500 gasket in the rear? Do I really have to ask you two times? LoL a little Austin Powers there.
I think that fever I had on Thanksgiving did some damage.

I'm gonna venture a guess and say that's because that is what he had around. I was just going to use the old set of factory gaskets that came off of my engine since I was going to cut em up. Unfortunately I lost my used set before I could do that - so I went ahead and bought a new set of stock gaskets and cut them up.
