they are all different lengths though. Is there anywhere I can buy a bolt kit?

not sure, check the auto parts stores. i dont recall seeing one, but i put headers on my 2.9 so they came with new bolts. i'm guessing you need a 1.5"-2" bolt, the factory manifolds are pretty thick

I don't know of anywhere to get the bolt kit anymore. A dealer might be able to find you a NOS set.

I went with headers too. Have the set my new engine came with, but they are the 2wd set and get in the way if you have a 4x4.

And Eddie is right, they are 8x1.25s I had to tap a few of my own when I put the 4x4 headers on.
