Are you taking about the bolts that go to the crank or converter?

I used ARP bolts (probably overkill) and loctite. Those bolts are only meant to be used once. I usually don't mind reusing bolts. Considering how much work it is to access those bolts if one did break, though, I decided to just replace them and not take the risk.

I tried to reused mine and broke one so get some ARP bolts. I would get them for both spots since you got it apart a broken bolt would suck.

ARP number is 200-2906.

yea, you're looking at the wrong part. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...6&autoview=sku
Thats the wrong part you're looking at. So I guess I'll edit this with the right part when I find it.
