Recommended exhaust studs
I have SSI's to install on my 3.0l that I bought to put in my 71. Upon inspection, I have 5 or 6 short studs including one that is really short. The rest are longer as is proper for an 82 SC motor. What studs should I buy? Pelican has 3 or 4 different ones that are 8 x 50mm or 51mm that range in price from $2.25 - $4.00. Is there an aftermarket option that is better?
I'll also need exhaust gaskets, those are pricey at $7.50 each, any other options? Edit: I found some exhaust gaskets that came with the motor, they are marked '40' and measure 40mm ID. These are right for my 82 3.0l, correct?

I just went over to my local auto parts dealer and picked up some generic metric exaust studs ... they'll be good for another 20 years !
Cheers ! Phil

Or you can make your own from a high quality threaded rod from McMaster Carr. Thats what I did 4 years ago and they still look great. Steel is steel in general. My car is not likely to get "rusty" so they aren't a big concern. Stainless tends to gall so not always great for fasteners.

Best combo I have found is stainless studs with brass nuts.
They never seem to gall or seize...dont rust...and are relatively cheap. Bob
