Tried a search but no help.. What is the Torque Specs. on Stock Exhaust Manifolds to Champion Alum. Heads with Copper Gaskets? I'm assuming it's different than with Steel Heads. thanks

Well it's like this, Ron I'm hoping by the end of June (not for street machines tho) . I will probably need your's and Tim's (if you would introduce me to him) help on first time start up?Jim, are you actually going to get the ol girl running..? Congrats.
have a rolling chassis now, so getting ready to slide it under the tub . yes it is the same motor. I'll keep you postedI'm sure we could get ya goin. What all you lacking.? And is that the same motor you bought a few yrs. ago?
thanks, that is what I was looking for a (number). I've got the anti-seizeI've had good results using anti-seize and 25 ft*lb. Re-torqueing after the first drive.
thanks I have those too (studs) with flange nuts. good advice will use studs whenever possibleUse studs like Nick said. I used stainless studs with anti-seize and hex-nuts with split lock washers. I use studs on just about anything that goes into aluminum whenever possible.
On my cars I thread inserted all the threads for the manifolds. Not a tough job if you have access to a Bridgeport. I've found that studs couldn't be used in all location and that 3/8 hex head header bolts worked better in most spots.
