Default 71 LS5 French Locks on manifolds?

My ‘71 has kind of taken the back burner for the last year plus, but it’s time to get back on it. The car has ceramic coated headers on it that I’ll be replacing with stock manifolds. I’m in the process of ordering the exhaust manifold bolts and am wondering If an LS5 uses french locks on the manifolds?

Thanks in advance.

Allan

72 did, but I'm not sure if they were on each pipe, I want to say only the front and rear for some reason

couple of images in this article, again a 72 but I would suspect it to be the same, they seemed to take away rather than add between 71 and 72

Thanks. Those are helpful. I was on Paragon’s website and they didn’t have french locks for a big block.

I'm not sure I've ever come across them in the catalogs, maybe check with Ernie at Willcox
