Replacing intake bolts

[cattleFEeder]

I was going to replace the intake bolts on my 390 with a streetmaster intake, whoever installed them just used regular grade 5 bolts with no washers. I am using an ARP kit for the replacement. Whats the best way to do this so I don't get an intake leak? I was planning on doing 1 at time and retorque them to 25 lbs as I go, will this work?

The ARP bolts are nice. I like the Stainless, they don't rust up.
You will have to saw a couple of them to get a good fit.
One at a time is fine, but I like a good snug with a box end and check them every once in a while.

We've done that many times without a problem.  As mentioned by Scotia, you will need to cut some fasteners since the ARP kit is not going to fit in some positions.  Actually I am not sure what manifold the ARP kit does fit...

If you're into stainless, I use kits from here:

You pay $45-50 and you get an entire engine's worth of stainless fasteners.

Thanks, I like the blue on your car. My car is 66 GTA clone with a 390 and a C6 behind it. Just got done doing 4 wheel disc brake and putting on rear springs and caltracs.

Thanks. Which springs did you put on yours? I'm guessing it was the split-mono. I have the Calvert -1" drop split-monos and double adjustable cal tracs. It looks like you have the "street" single hole cal tracs. Underhood looks good too.

I went with the calvert split-monos but +1, street cal tracs and their rear adjustable shocks.
