When I bought my heads and headers, I talked to the tech line at Summit. They know more than the regular sales guys. They suggested an ARP head bolt kit, which they said came with the header bolts. But I'm sure they sell just header bolts. My gaskets came with my headers, so I don't know about those, but they should be able to get you squared away with something. The only thing is that it takes forever to get through to them and I don't think they're there on weekends. I'd say to give them a call and let them know which heads and headers you got and see what they can find for you.

Well, if the copper ones you had on your other car came from MAC originally just contact them and see if you can get another set. I had a set of MACs that I recently sold, but they came with copper gaskets and new bolts. See if MAC will hook you up.
