B4 and B16 manifolds came with steel studs and bronze nuts. I don't know exactly why, but I do know that with that combination I had never had a stud twist off which is something I can't say for steel studs with steel nuts. In fact, I'm still using bronze nuts on my B20 studs. Stainless, I don't know - never felt the compulsion. ;-)

Remember that 11mm and 7/16" are very close. Later engines used 7/16"-14 UNC
headbolts so you would do well to use a pitch gage on the threads to make sure
before you purchase nuts.
