So....the plan is to finish the upgrades on the car this year including the supercharger and new wheel tire package. I have spent the last 3 days trying to find custom offset 17" or 18" rally wheels and haven't had much luck yet. I need a 8" wide 5" offset for the front, and a 9" wide 4" offset for the rear, first few manufactures have told me they cant do that. Keep in mind I know i can get this done for big $ but for $1K a wheel I would do something different than the rally wheel as much as I like it. |

I think you are probably qualified to answer your own question, I don't look at normal manifold/ header flanges daily. I have a hobby of building L28 engines utilizing carb heads.
I do have my winter beater that has an exhaust gasket leak on number 8 making a 2005 Crown Vic a total loss if studs (even 1) start breaking. Any new ideas on how to not have to pull the engine/ head to remove/ repair studs. |

Stage 8 fasteners rock.
I've got a set of Hooker headers on the 327 in my Jeep and had constant problems with them shaking header bolts loose and blowing out the exhaust gasket even though I would go around and re-tighten header bolts after each heat cycle. I hate the sound of exhaust leaks, each and every tick sounds like lost horsepower, and I was changing exhaust gaskets about once every month or two to eliminate them. Out of desperation I tried some Stage 8 fasteners and while they were a bit of a bitch to put on they have eliminated the issue, I haven't had an exhaust leak in the 5 years since I put them on. |
