Exhaust Manifold studs

Hello everyone,

I am looking for exhaust manifold studs for my 85 F350 with a 7.5L. I've looked at all the local places and the usual places online and can't find just the studs. There are quite a few that come with the manifolds but they don't mention the size. If I could get the size of the studs or where I can order them from I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Are you talking about the studs for the exaust pipe or to the head? The threads in the heads are 3/8-16, the manifold is either going to be 7/16-14 or may be a metric. I don't have mine out to check.

Can't you get things like that at your local hardware store?

I could buy bolts, yes, but I was hoping to get the studs. I also don't know what size they need to be other than taking the manifold in with me and sizing it that way.

I'm gonna guess 3/8-16 X some length.

Hardware store near me has studs of different sizes & configurations, not just bolts.

Most parts stores carry exhaust stud kits. If they are american thread they will be 7/16-14, Chevys use 3/8-16 studs (they're the ones that almost always break off).

Unfortunately they're metric. I believe the one's that go into the manifold are 11-14 or 16. The other end doesn't matter too much. I'm running back to the parts store tomorrow to see if there are any metric studs that might fit. As a precaution, I'm bringing in a spare manifold just to test the threads. Wish me luck. I'll let you know tomorrow.

When it comes to exhaust manifold studs, I prefer to buy them, from Ford, as the factory ones are actually a tapered thread, not a normal straight thread.
