Replacement bolts and gaskets for hooker headers 2149
Does anyone know offhand what bolts and gaskets I'd need to install a set of hooker headers onto my 89 L98? I bought the hookers never installed but the owner had lost the install kit. Any other things I'd need to buy to get them installed properly?

Not sure gaskets, but save yourself alot of trouble and frustration and buy locking header bolts. Either Stage 8 (thats what I have and have used on a few engines) or any other brand. Header bolts loosening or falling out sucks. Same with collector bolts. Small price to pay for insurance.

I believe that hardware will be dependent upon what's needed at the exhaust headers for accessory drive supports. Whatever you decide for basic hardware and then whatever's required for the supports. I don't believe you can purchase a package that will include all. I doubt that the original would have had all either. You should likely need a few studs, spacers and nuts for various locations. Gaskets I'd think you could buy local.
