And why a grade 8 bolt when a non-graded bolt would work and be cheaper? lol

I have an extra set of manifolds that I have been planning on modifying as you suggested. I just wanted to get it back together ASAP as I have a big project looming and I need this off my plate.
So far as the grade 8 bolts, my motto is "if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!" That and every build I've seen where a crossmember was drilled out, the rivets were replaced with grade 8. This is a mix of cross members and reinforcing plates, so... Refer back to motto
Updates from weekend coming soon.
