Head bolts
« on: April 30, 2011, 09:20:33 PM »
I got an 80 head to put on my 82 4.2, and was told about needing bushing adapters to use my 7/16" head bolts.  What I wasn't told was that all the head bolts on the older head are the same length, while the ones on my car are two different lengths.  Where can I get all the same length head bolts for not a whole lot of money?
