Default flexplate bolts.....eagle crank

trying to bolt my LS1 flexplate to my new LS2 engine (eagle crank)....the bolts seem to be different????

anyone know???.....definitely don't want to strip out the crank on an engine that has never been fired

also went to my local GM dealer today and bought 6 new bolts and guess what.....they don't ****** thread in either

i know eagle had a problem a few years ago with their cranks, they had SBC threads in the crank. try n find a SBC bolt and see if that threads in, if so, id have Eagle's ***.

Guess I may have to go to a fastener store and start searching....whatever they are the ARE NOT the LS1 metric thread pitch

I have heard of Scat screwing up in the past and using 7/16 bolts but not Eagle
