For the T56 clutch with the 700107 flywheel?

Re: Are these the correct pressure plate bolts?

The GM part # for the correct bolts is 10079898. When I did my swap, I found that Pace Performance was selling them. I did a search now and I found that they have been discontinued. It looks like McLeod sells the correct bolt, but it is pretty pricey. Some people just go to the hardware store and pick up grade 8's, but that would be up to you. I'm not sure about those ARP bolts though.

Man I just read the crazy LT1 PP bolt thread at LS1 tech forums, and wow. All over this guy:



The solution without spending $60 on the McLeod bolts is Fastenal:

Part No. 20677 HCS 3/8-16 X 2 YZ9 $1.03 ea.

These are grade 9 bolts with a yield strength rating of 180,000 psi.

What are your thoughts? Looks like the GM bolt has a shoulder on it that might be important?

The Grade 8 bolts will work. The ARP's you posted are for Trucks, not for the T56 F-body.

Re: Are these the correct pressure plate bolts?

Or how about these:

ARP 652-2000




Chromemoly Bolt Thread Size: 3/8"-16, 2.000" UHL
Hex Head
Black oxide Finish
170,000 PSI Yield Strength
Wrench Diameter: 3/8"
Washers Included
Set of 5.

Once again the stupid 'comes in packs of 5' BS when you need 6 bolts! These may work so what do you guys think?

Re: Are these the correct pressure plate bolts?

With the ARP's, there's no guarentee that the shoulder is as long as pictured. There no need to get the ARP's for strength, there's not any requirement beyond grade 5 like the stockers, but you do want a 50% or longer shoulder to work with..
