Need advice on tunnel Ram Carbs installation

[fwi]

Going to be installing a pair of Holley 450's on my Weiand TR as soon as they arrive. Should I use studs or bolts ?

My small block with 390 carbs and TR uses studs.

Dooooo iiitttt



But to answer the question, studs
Of the correct length.
Thin head bolts only if clearance is an issue.

Studs, wouldn't want to run bolts into manifold to easy to cross thread. Maybe a little anti seize on studs?

I use studs on mine

It's unanimous, plus it makes sense, studs it is. Thank you all.

Noticed you plan on running 450s. What's the specs on your motor and any info on the trans/gearing etc. and what the vehicle is used for would be of interest. Thanks.

Does your tunnel ram on the 383 work well? I'll be putting one on my 383 with a 4.25" stroke, soon. A 496. I'm using 2 Carter 500 CFM carbs to start. May go to 660 Holleys after that, just for fun. I guess you are using the 5986 base, right? Do your 450 Holleys work ok on there?
