I guess every week or so I have to prod the HO forum back to life....

Here is a question that is for the 455 HO experts. I can not find a definitive answer in any of the usual sources.....
How many of the four fasteners that hold the exhaust crossover to the head were studs and how many were bolts?

The parts book lists four studs and no bolts, but if memory serves my car had 3 studs and 1 bolt.
One of the four is a bear to install as a stud (too long) so possibly a running change was made for ease of assembly. Anybody have an unmolested car, or taken one apart?
