I just went to 3 stores to find bolts but couldn't get the right ones. The two that I got, that go into the block are 5 grade but they would go in about an inch. I have tranny bolts (8 grade) but they only go in about a 1/4 inch.

I was wondering if I should use the 5 grade bolts because they go in an inch. Or should I use the tranny bolts that only go in a 1/4 inch? Which would be the safer route not damaging something if it sits there a while?

Also the two bottom bolts that go all the way through with nuts and washers are 8 grade too.

 

I would use the longer ones.

 

You want to go in at least one inch and use all 4 bolts. 2 would go all the way thru the block and put a nut on the other end. You especially need all 4 if you are bolting on the head on the stand.

 

Would the 5 grade bolts hold the weight of the block, head, and maybe some turbo stuff? Or should I still go on the search of some 8 grade?

Im using the tranny bolts on top now and ace hardware bolts and nuts on the bottom.

with mine the tranny bolts only go in about a 1/4 of an inch.

 

b-series right? Might be the stand your using also, to be safe use just use the same grade as the tranny bolts except longer.

 

Yea Ill have to go find some. A lot of places don't even come close to having them.

Thanks for all the help
