Manifold bolts
So I'm going to put a new head on and borla long tube on my 89 xj. What exhaust and intake manifold hardware do you all suggest so I can start ordering parts? Also the borla header is used can I use a oem gasket?

Most header bolts are 1".
Your bolts are 3/8-16 and you'll need at least 1 1/4" to 1 3/8" long, you have a 1/2" flange.
Or..............it's not rocket science

i would try to get a hold of parts from the dealership. although typically more expensive than parts stores, it is worth it. arp makes good stuff, but I think their product use on a stock jeep is unnecessary. the factory parts last indefinitely without failure, just keep it simple.

I'm looking at a later date to have a larger collector welded on my APN header for a custom exhaust, and I think im gonna follow your lead on the manifold hardware.

the funky washers, are conical washers, as they heat up they allow for expansion and cover a larger surface area over the header/manifold flange which prevents loosing on the nuts as well as reducing the fatigue that lock washers cause which can break the studs/bolts off in the head over time.

For those who need ARP fasteners looks like here is the place to start.
I use all ARP studs from top (valve covers) to bottom (splayed 4 bolt mains) on my race and HP street/strip motors have for many years. Cheap insurance and they make life easier when working with them.
