[Found!] 2 long bolts to join manifolds together

[gdizzle]

I am in search of 2 hex bolts, 5/16 - 18 x 3.5inches long to join my exhaust maniolds. must be fully threaded.
I scoured the net, only to find boxes of 10 or 50. and crazy shipping costs.

Anyone have some to spare? Thanks

why do you think you need fully threaded bolts? they go through the intake and thread into the ex. as i recall there should be enough room for 1 1/2 to 2 in. of shank.

Threaded rod?

I know I used a die and ran the threads down further to use grade 8s from hardware store.

Currently using 2 threaded rods, with a nut on each end. PITA to take off and on. Needs to be fully threaded or mostly threaded as the ends have to stick out 1/2in for me to attached the throttle bracket for super six.

After no luck, I took your advice and just cut my own threads into a bolt I already had. Easier than I thought. It was actually some original long (4 in) bolts that came off my 1bbl manifolds. And in my tap/die tools I only own 2 Dies, one happened to be the 5/16 - 18. Then I just hacked off .5 and I am good to go. Thanks guys.
