Ford Mustang Installing Headers

The headers and new gaskets fit in place of the stock manifolds. Although BBK supplies a complete set of header bolts, it may be easier to reuse some of the original stud-type hardware, however the header tubes won't allow the factory stud and nut to fit in some areas. Also, the stud hardware makes it easier to position the headers correctly because the studs help locate the headers. At that point, you can simply thread the nuts onto the studs, then start the header bolts in other locations once the header is in place.
