The manifold bolts are not listed as exceptions to the Torque Specs in the
book, so use the "all locations" figure:

Size    Ft. Lbs
5/16    14-16
3/8     25-30
7/16    34-40

IH/Navistar dealers have an exhaust stud kit.  The studs are bronze (?)
plated  to resist seizing.  The studs may be bolts, I don't remember 100%.
