Intake manifold bolt questions

[cr8crshr]

Arp stainless are $50+. I'm working on unemployed budget, that's why I repainted my valley pan instead of getting a new one. Saved $12+ or -. I'll roll that $12 toward my air cleaner/wires or use it towards the gaskets. I may just use the old bolts, but I can get a discount at hardware store. Someplaces I scrimp others I don't. I think I can get by without $50 bolts, but thank you very much for your input that's what I'm looking for

If you want, you can have my left overs. Pay for the shipping and they are yours....cr8crshr/Tuck

I use flanged head, grade 8 bolts from Ace on most of my builds. No need for ARP Super Unobtainium grade 20 bolts for an intake manifold. ARPs have their place; they're not needed everywhere.

What sealer should be used?

Teflon pipe sealant. It''s the only thing I've used that lasts.You can use Locktite brand or Factory GM stuff works good also. RTV will fail. My motors are dead dry.
