[s-cars] While I'm in there..

[Sean Douglas]

Marc:

I just did the swap myself about 4 weeks ago.

I'd recommend replacing all 16 manifold studs. The original ones can get
stressed upon removal and at least one lister experienced a broken stud
when *installing* the new lock nuts, not fun and he had to take his car
to a shop to get it removed. The studs are fairly cheap <$2 ea IIRC. Get
yourself a good quality stud remover, specifically designed for 8 mm
studs. The universal ones do not work very well. Facom or Hazet makes a
nice one.

Other hardware to consider from the basic list is new bolts and nuts for
the downpipe to cats (6 ea), these must be cut off as they will be
rusted solid.

I have an Excel spreadhseet that summarizes all part numbers, qty, etc.
if you are interested.
