Secure your aftermarket exhaust headers with the Certified Automotive Experts 12-Piece Header Bolt Set, designed for compatible American V8 engines from Chevrolet, Ford, and Mopar. Featuring 3/8"-16 right-hand threads, these hex-head bolts are suitable for a range of small-block and big-block engine applications.
Made from corrosion-resistant alloy steel with a polished finish, these Grade 5 header bolts are designed for durability in high-heat, high-vibration engine environments. They provide a practical fastening solution for compatible exhaust headers and iron cylinder heads, making them suitable for muscle cars, restorations, street rods, and performance builds.
Each pack contains 12 bolts. Some big-block and specialty cylinder-head configurations require 14 or 16 bolts, so additional hardware may be needed.
