header bolts

I was not aware the pacesetter headers do not come with bolts, with the stock manifold boltswork, or are they too long? also, is 1200* exhuast paint in many clean layers enough to fight rust and paint burn off?

mine didnt come w/ bolts either. i ended up buying the grade 8 locking header bolts, or whatever theyre called. the gaskets that came with the pacesetters sucked, they blew out in a few months so i got the felpro gaskets.

just take your old bolts to the hardware store or rural king(old mainifold bolts)....find some with the same thread, pick a length, add lock washers and yoru done, its not all that difficlut, cost me $1.37 for the bolts...(oh and maybe some lock tight just incase)

Funny, on PaceSetter's website it says that their headers do not include header bolts.
