Default V8 Exhaust Manifold Bolts

It looks like the exhaust manifold bolts are 5/16 BSW. I have borrowed some spanners and sockets to do the job, and I should be able to pick some up at the local sunday market. There are always second hand tools to be found there.
The headers seem like a good idea, especially for cooling in the cab. I have heard of fitting insulation to the engine cover for this reason. I might seriously look at the headers, even though the purists might frown.

Default Blitz exhaust manifolds

I should be able to help with exhaust manifolds. The RH ones are all the same, however there are 2 positions for the exhaust outlet on the LH side
