Anyone know the exhaust manifold bolt size?

The last one the passenger side is stripped, and the exhaust leak is about to drive me insane. I need to know the right size so I can tap the hole and put a helicoil in its place.

3/8 IIRC


But im pretty sure, Almost everything on the SBC is 3/8 or 5/16


Ahh ****, that may be A lie, Could be 7/16

Anyway, there are big holes and small holes, the Small ones are 5/16, and the big ones are I think, 7/16. 3/8 is pretty big now that I think about it.

Either way, Sinc eyour drilling and tapping and helicoiling anyway, Use whatever the hell fits
