JSerry, we have bantered about before on "strength" and "torque" questions before, has it ever actually been established just what strength the bolts were in these cars originally when they were built??? Not that much on these V8's could use something stronger than a standard Grade 2 bolt to do the job. I had always wanted to ask Roy Nacewicz what he had his fastener's manufactured to (as to grade) as I never did see any info pertaining to that??? Currently I use my lathe to "turn" the Grade markings & mill stamps off the heads of bolts in a pinch.
