Some headers actually use nuts and bolts. I have BBK's on my car, and the flanges on my headers are not tapped. The wrench is a pain, but dealing with busted studs sucks even more. At least if the bolt breaks, it takes about 3 seconds to yank it out of there.

big brakes FTW!
and the fan blades look pretty good on a box... I must say. Personally I prefer the older style American Racing rally wheels with the round holes, but that's just me.
for ease of swap and direct fit... these wheels win epically.

Thanks guys.
Nate, I haven't tried. If you are asking because you would like to know I will gladly check for you. I still have my original somewhere around here.
And if you are hinting towards installing one to keep it clean under the hood I am partial to that idea as well.~David~
