You might want to look into the Breslin locking header bolts. I've been told they work better and are easier to lock than the stage8 ones.
I have a set of the Breslin locking header bolts.

I re-used the stockers when I did Dynatechs on my truck. Worked fine, thing that I hated was the gaskets the came with the kit. They didn't fit right and I had to manipulate them to get the plugs back in.

When I installed my SW's, I used the bolts that came with my Gibson shorties that were on my truck for 5 years. I used anti-sieze when I originally installed them and they came out easily with the threads looking brand new. I have a set of Stage8's that I plan to use if I can ever get my 6.0 project together (my truck will probably be a classic by then lol).
