For about $200-300. Sold by the individual bolt.

I would just order them from www.mcmaster.com

Wink KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid!

I agree with Griff on the bolts, just size them and order stainless from a good fastener supplier.
As for gaskets for the small block or big block chevy exhausts the newer GM factory over the counter MLS stainless gaskets are the way to go! Reasonably low cost, never leak, can be re-used, come into the future and see the light! Its the only gasket my mom lets me use!

Just look in the GM High Performance catalogue at your local Chevy dealer or on-line at GM High Performance you can download the entire catalogue. They are both listed in there.
