SBC Intake Bolts
I am about to install my aluminum intake on my new motor. I bought a set of Mr. Gasket (I know... I know...) intake bolts. I don't feel confident that they are long enough to accomodate my A/C bracket. I can only get a couple of threads into the block with that particular bolt. What is everyone else using? (I don't want to reuse the originals.) Could I just use standard bolts, if so what are the specs on them?
TIA,

Re: SBC Intake Bolts (e3pres)
If you've still got the originals, or if you know the length you need, just hop on down to the local hardware store for some grade 8 (or at least grade 5) replacements. Home Depot, Lowe's, Tru-Value, PepBoys, should all have the right bolts. I wouldn't use anything less than grade 5 (3 lines on the head).
