hi-po exhaust installation

[floyds68]

Tried a search and had no luck, manuel doesnt say.  Exhaust gasket has a siver colored material on one side (FELPRO), I dont know wether it should face the block or the manifold. Any Ideas? Also any tips, cautions, or articles to reference on things to consider during this install would help.  Thanks

What kind of bolts/studs were used to attatch the Hi-performance manifolds?  Heres my problem.
in pic 1 you can see the one hole thats doin its own thing.  It is about 3 linches deep and the diameter is so small that I can only fit the nut down inside, no chance of getting a socket around it.  The other side has 2 holes the same and the clearance is pretty slim.  Has anyone ever heard of this problem, How did they come from the factory?  Any clues.  What a downer

The factory didn't use a gasket between the heads and manifolds.

I put the flat side of the gasket toward the block....really dont think it makes a difference though

irf you use a gasket it will fail very quickly , I use a THIN coat of high temp silicone around the ports & bolt the manifold to the head , NO gasket
the Nut you need are a sleeve nut about 3" long as mentioned

You need some of these sleeve nuts, you will need to leave the studs in the heads.

I sell the correct barrel nuts that you need. These are threaded all the way through like the originals were. The nuts available from Chrysler today are not correct for a 100% looking resto. Here`s a pic
