if you are talking about the pacesetters then yes and no some of the factory bolts can be used but the headers come with smaller head bolts to clear the inner two headers. also make shure to carfuly reroute the fule lines away from the headers on my 93 the methode perscribed in the instructions didn't work and even if it did I would have needed to heat rap the exh so that the fuel in my lines didn't vaporlock
and gasket I just used felpro works fine

as long as they thread in correctly and the bolt head and head flange dont contact the welds or the tubing you should be fine if the bolt touches the tube or the weld you could damge the tube/weld and the tourque will not be distributed evenly over the exh flange face so it wont seal correctly on my pacesetter i only used the supplied bolts for the tight clearance problems also make shure the flange on the new headers is not significantly thinner than the ld manifold if it is then the bolts will bottom out in thier bosses (unless those holes are drilled into the head water jacket wich I don't think they are) and will not apply the proper press to the flange to seal. also on 93 some of the stock manifold bolts are longer for attaching things like struts and braces on the alternator and ac comp try it if it dosent work just buy shorter exh header bolts these things dont have to be high quality like head and rod bolts
