Having never done this before, are the bolt lengths different depending on where they go, or am I making a "mountain out of a molehill". Will the bolts supplied by SW suffice? I am planning on sending the headers to Jet Hot for ceramic coating. Seems as if SW doesn't do it. Sounds like it really knocks down underhood temperatures and cauterized adjacent structures (the surgeon in me coming out!) Thanks, guys. INCREDIBLE SITE! I have completely rebuilt the top end of my LT5 due to ruined injectors due to lousy E10 gas, PCV leak with lots of oil, replaced fuel pump assembly due to same, installed Elite Engineering catch can. Lots of solvent, q tips and paper towels. Bought a parts washer and was a very good investment. Any advice would be very appreciated. Jerry Downey and I have become great friends. He is an incredible resource and a patient, tolerant man who never seeems to tire of my questions. How do I become a member?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
