Default Exhaust Manifold Bolt

Anybody have the size and thread pitch for the exhaust manifold bolts? Have to change my header gaskets (they leak) and don't know the size. Google gives me 3 different sizes

Pretty sure they are coarse thread, either 5/16 or 3/8. Usually 3 sizes smaller than the head.

They are 5/16 - 18.

I know you didn't ask, but I used Remflex gaskets and stage 8 locking hardware when I installed my shorty headers and they haven't loosened or leaked since installation several years ago.

I seen Remflex but for $50 I'll just buy 10 sets of regular gaskets
