And where to buy them?

The fiero store.

I bought the kit. Will install next time the engine is out.

Any bolt or hardware store... or even Ebay, if you don't want to buy from Fiero Store. There is nothing special about the stud kit... standard items.

Contact ARP

They will have what you need and they are the best you can buy.

I just purchased stainless steel bolts and used them. They are still in place years later. Forgot the size but they may have been 8MM.

Stainless has 2 issues though.

Stainless has a grade strength of just under a 5 and the threads cold weld (aka: gall).

Also, most stainless hardware is constructed out of 18-8 which is resistant to corrosion but susceptible to it. 316 stainless is highly corrosion resistant and 410 is more in the lines of a Grade 8 but not as resistant to rust as 18-8.

I just used 8mm hex socket set screws from (good) hardware store - easy to install/remove w/hex key, and grade 8 plus.

Hi Mike,
Will those come out later? Seems like you would not be able to get them back out in a few years?

Fiero V6 Exhaust Manifold Stud Kit $15.00 plus $5.00 S&H

At this price, is it worth the risk versus pulling the whole motor later to drill out a bolt?
