How can I get replacement bolts for connecting the manifolds together? Are they run of the mill bolts from Home Depot? Any help is appreciated.

The 2 long ones are 5/16" coarse thread and are about 4" long. Hardware store bolts will last as long as any.

If things are too crusty to come out nicely, and the long bolts are rusted solidly into the exhaust manifold, you can simply saw them off flush, drill them out and put the bolts clear through with a nut on the bottom. It is not worth the time it takes to get them out cleanly. It might take several days, a can of PB Blaster, and a blow torch to break them out of there.

Welcome on the board. Grade-8 or stainless steel hardware store bolts are fine. For information on the aftermarket manifolds, please see this thread.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Follow those links in the other thread also. You can get that same manifold cheaper than the one on ebay. Shipping is free (nothing is free) but the total is still less. I also just added a few pictures.
