Grade 8 bolts
Okay, so I've got 3 engines currently that are standing in line for me to gut, and then slap all useable parts onto a 4 bolt main bare block that I got today... problem is.. I went to the home improvement stores around here, and none of them carry 3/8-16tc 3 1/2" bolts! They all go up to 3" and my stand's holes are 3" long, nevermind screwing it into the block.
So my question is, is there a website that sells Grade 8 bolts anywhere that's not eBay? I am willing to wait a couple days if I must to get this started (since next week I start school and have a load of days off from work... unfortunately)

You don't really need grade 8. You could also use 3 1/2" bolts and some washer.

Thanks Me Leigh. I like the new avatar btw lol.
I'm going to go out and see if any places downtown have the right sized bolts. Thanks again.
