Engine bolt kits other than ARP?
I need a bolt kit for an engine I'm building. The standard kits
give most of the bolts, but I need head bolts, cam bolts, and a few
others.
Are there other companies that sell bolt kits. I see noname ones on ebay, but
have no idea of quality...
ARP is great, but is there another supplier for bolt kits?

Ditto:
Head bolts, cam bolts, oil pump bolts, harmonic damper bolt, torque converter bolts, and oil filter adapter bolts are on my list.

GM Performance Parts sells a head bolt kit. And Summit has some Summit-brand bolt kits for miscellaneous assemblies. I trust both these brands in terms of quality.
But I can't think of a non-ARP complete engine bolt kit.

Ditto....I tried saving some money with Summit bolts, but they were poor; went back & bought ARP's (top notch quality).
