Default grade 8.8 bolts good enough for flexplate bolts??
I have ARP bolts but there too short for my TCI/6.0 combo. Can I run to Sears Hardware and use 8.8 bolts with washers? Or 10.9 bolts or what?

I used 10.9 with no problems so far I went to the bolt store and purchased the flange headed bolts.

Yes use 10.9 bolts. Most auto parts stores have them on the bolt racks. Just gotta match size/diameter and thread pitch and bolt length.
