Manifold bolts

Hey all I want to replace my manifold gaskets, what is the best way to remove the bolts and can I just use grade 8 hardware to replace them if need be?

Do a search of this forum for my tech write up on how to do it. It's the same a replacing exhaust manifold for headers. If its not a DD lube for a week or 2 and follow my guidance.

PB blaster and alot of patience......I even explain what to do it you break one.

If it's a 352 series pretty much plan on breaking half of the top bolts. And yes grade 8's and anti seize make great replacement bolts.

Great thanks guys! I figured as much, they have been soaking for a couple days now. I think I will spray them again and let them soak a couple more...
