Now wait JUST A MINUTE!
They ARE on the LIST & I didn't drill ANY HOLES for them.

Feel FREE to RIP on me for adding the "Ricky Recardo's",but they are FUN for NOW & I'll put the stock seats back in just as soon as SOMEBODY makes a respectable set of repro DELUXE seat covers.
(can we have the right color,PLEASE????)

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?

I have 2 relatively untouched 71 HO cars that I can check for you if you can wait a week or so. Do you want pictures or is a description ok?

No hurry. No need for pictures either, just a description.
Please indicate either; 4 studs
or a mixture of studs and bolts.
If the latter, please describe where you found any bolts (ie LH side front, etc)
Also please post the build week and plant (for example 04A Norwood)
Thanks!

Paul,

Please post pictures too if possible. I would love to see an untouched 71 HO engine or two!

Giles,

Good questions on studs as people have asked me those questions, and I don't have the answers.

Here is an underhood shot of a 71 Formula 455HO I bought a couple of months back. I'll post some my Trans Am later. The TA is in better shape.
