We are getting ready to install our logs and snails. We have a bb chevy 454. What types of bolts should we use to install them?

It is my humble opinion that standard ol' grade 5 bolts with star washers work just fine, I like a little never seize on the shoulder to keep them from corroding to the aluminum.

If you want to get more trick, go with cadmium plated grade 8's, not for the extra strength, but for the superior corrosion protection over the zinc on the galvanized bolts, just keep in mind, cadmium bolts are made overseas because the US outlawed any cadmium plating to "protect us"...

Good luck, sounds like your getting close.

Tio, you know where King Bolt is off of Grand?  That's usually where I get my bolts.  X2 on the cad plated stuff.  (didn't know those were coming from overseas though)

I know King Bolt well. Too well if you know what I mean $$. I think cad is the way we will go. Thanks

I know what you mean, I don't think I've ever walked out that door for under 20 bucks..........

Getting ready to install the exhaust but was not sure about using a lockwasher or threadlock etc. What do you guys use?

  I use lock washers, stay away from the thread lock might be some what difficult trying to remove the bolts,  did you go with stainless hardware if so make sure you use anti seize. 

X2 on No thread locker... I use split lock washers and a little nickle based anti seiz.
