The F-body headers for my truck need the studs.



Is it cheap to order new studs? Can I just use my 4.8 studs?
Are these a pain in the butt to replace? Or is it a doable job?

 

I replaced 3 of mine when I had to, um... "clean" my cats. It was pretty easy to do, just by a can of PB Blaster or "Freeze Off" and double nut the stud and it should back right out off of your 4.8 manifolds (if they are in good shape). Cheap is not a word I would use for new ones though... I believe they were something like 5-8 bucks EACH stud from the local stealership. Not sure what list was on them but I didn't have time to haggle.
