Having an even thicker flange might make this issue mute or exacerbate it, I'm not sure but I have kept those wrenched for 25 years so they must have been useful at some time.

The only thing I work on these days are Datsun engines.
I have no ****ing idea what this post has to do with my question.

After much internal debate I decided I couldn't buy the Z06 unless I sold the Chevy II and I cant bring myself to do it. Eventually I could justify it but I am afraid if I buy a Z06 or ZL1 without finishing the old car i will never "finish" it as I envisioned.

So....the plan is to finish the upgrades on the car this year including the supercharger and new wheel tire package.

I have spent the last 3 days trying to find custom offset 17" or 18" rally wheels and haven't had much luck yet. I need a 8" wide 5" offset for the front, and a 9" wide 4" offset for the rear, first few manufactures have told me they cant do that.

Keep in mind I know i can get this done for big $ but for $1K a wheel I would do something different than the rally wheel as much as I like it.

I think you are probably qualified to answer your own question, I don't look at normal manifold/ header flanges daily. I have a hobby of building L28 engines utilizing carb heads.


I do have my winter beater that has an exhaust gasket leak on number 8 making a 2005 Crown Vic a total loss if studs (even 1) start breaking.

Any new ideas on how to not have to pull the engine/ head to remove/ repair studs.

I'm not sure what you are asking here...

But I drill those broken studs out all the time, blind . Without pulling the motor.

I hate the sound of exhaust leaks, each and every tick sounds like lost horsepower, and I was changing exhaust gaskets about once every month or two to eliminate them. Out of desperation I tried some Stage 8 fasteners and while they were a bit of a bitch to put on they have eliminated the issue, I haven't had an exhaust leak in the 5 years since I put them on.
