Post 55 R.H. exhaust manifold

The heat riser on my 55 has siezed shut and when checking closer the manifold is cracked where the stud holding the manifold to the exhaust pipe connects. I have found another manifold and have a new heat riser. My question is when removing the manifold and installing the new one is there anything I should be aware of before starting to do this project? I read that a graphite grease should be applied to the block before installing the replacement manifold and heard that lock washers should not be used when replacing the bolts.
Can anyone throw a little light on my next, seemingly never ending, "T" Bird project. :confused:
