Title: Head bolts
Post by: 4x4_Welder 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?

It didn't cost me a whole lot to get the my block retapped to use 1/2 inch head bolts...Makes getting bolts so much cheaper and easier!
