Can you reuse the stock TC bolts with new coverter I have a Vig 3200 that I am going to be putting in soon and I am woundering if I should reuse the stock ones or just get new ones? And if so what is the size of the bolts?

you can use the stockers. I believe the spec for them is about 45 or 50lb-ft. I actually had bought some ARP bolts for my swap, but they were to big, so I switched back to the stockers. Funny thing is, I forgot that I was switching back, so I put the stock bolts to 90lb-ft which was the spec for the ARP bolts... 
So far no problems though. I say save your money, reuse the stockers, and torque them to somewhere between 45 and 75lb-ft... Oh, and be sure to use some thread locker on them. The last thing you want is for them to back out on ya...

depends if you have the allen bolt type bolts or not, if you do you will throw them as far as you can if you can get them off - I probably wouldnt reuse them because they are a pain, not because they cant be reused 
If you have regular hex bolts I would use them over..
Make sure to thread them into the converter all the way and make sure the stock bolts arent too long.
