Header Bolts for 1998 5.0

[JCat]

5.0 (302) engine.

3/8 X 16 ?

or

M12 X 1.75 ?

1 inch long or 3/4 inch long ?

I Googled this and got conflicting results. Anyone know why ?

Thanks !

3/8 16

I like the 3/4" because in some holes the 1" may bottom out before the header is snug to the head.

Get the smallest head you can find. Some come with a ball tipped hex key, those work very well, and are easier to get started IMO

edit

Factory headers or Torquemonster headers?

Thanks for your replies !

I just might buy a long block from http://m.promarengine.com/
And try installing them while on the engine.
