Thanks Mike, that’s what I had on the old engine, just concerned about not using locking bolts. I have had to retighten a few header bolts in the past with a brand of gaskets I don’t remember.

Thanks Mike, that's what I had on the old engine, just concerned about
not using locking bolts. I have had to retighten a few header bolts in
the past with a brand of gaskets I don't remember.

Richard,
I'm a huge fan of the Remflex gaskets.
As for header bolts I am a HUGE fan of the ARP small-head bolts. These
are standard 3/8 bolts but they use a smaller 5/16 wrench for vastly
improved wrench access. They look weird and work great.

I've got CHI 4V heads and Ansa GTS exhaust system.
I've found the top rated gaskets to be Percy's (XX Carbon and Seal
For
Good) and Remflex. The top bolts appear to be Stage 8, Mr. Gasket
Headlocks, and ARP (non-locking). I want the best setup to avoid
leaks
because I'm going to run a Sniper EFI and as you all know, O2 sensors
don't like exhaust leaks.
