Sbc Bolt Sizes Anyone???
Does anyone know or have a link to all the bolt sizes for a small block chevy?
I know the harmonic damper is 7/16 - 20 x 2.25 and the cam bolts are 5/16 - 18 x 3/4 and the exhaust manifold bolts are 3/8 - 16 x 3/4.
Anyone know the sizes of the 3 different head bolts, main bolts 4 or 2 bolt, oil pan bolts, oil pump bolt (I think this one is 7/16 - 14 x 2.25 but im not sure), intake manifold, valve cover, thermostat housing, distributor, timing cover, water pump, all accessories (alternator, pulleys, etc.)
I think this would be very helpful to anyone building a sbc. Too late ive already bought all of my bolts in a kit or i wouldve definitely taken advantage of this. I guess it would be easiest to just start a running list.
Harmonic damper = 7/16 - 20 x 2.25
Cam bolts = 5/16 - 18 x 3/4
Exhaust manifold bolts = 3/8 - 16 x 3/4
Oil pump = 7/16 - 14 x 2.25

the head and main cap bolts are specialized and can use hardwear store bolts. the oil pump bolt length is very critical. oil pan, valve covers, and timing cover are 1/4-20x3/4" and oil pan also has four 5/16-18x3/4" bolts. you much have the shortest manifold gm ever put on an engine. i'd guess the length to be more like 1 1/2". t stat is 3/6-16 and length would depend on what hat you had. intake would be 3/8-16x1 1/4"

Same here. Im trying to start a list so that it would be easier for someone just starting out to do this instead of spending a ton of money for bolts from jegs or using old ones.
