Default Will this bolt kit work on my C4?

Can anyone tell me if this is the bolt kit I will need for my 86 C4? I have cast valve covers, and stock exhaust manifolds. Anyone had any experience with this kit? The description is vague and no response from Jegs customer service.

Bolt Kit

Thanks in advance, Winston.

I get the impression it would be fine for an early 86 with cast iron heads.

Which heads on yours ?
Cast iron with perimeter bolt pattern or aluminum with center bolt pattern ?

I'm willing to bet that they would work. I've never had nor have a heard of any problems with Jegs products not fitting the description. Are you going to coat and/or wrap your exhaust manifolds/headers? That bolt set looks like it would be pretty sweet, but it would be a bit of a shame to have them set next to a rusty exhaust.

Look at your valve covers, if they are held down by three bolts running down the middle they will not work. If you have four bolts on the perimeter they will work.
