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.

I am a little confused here. I found what I thought were the right parts on ebay for $16 plus shipping, and at Summit for $13 plus shipping. Am I looking at the wrong part?
ARP number is 200-2906.

Thats the wrong part you're looking at. So I guess I'll edit this with the right part when I find it.

Here ya go, www.summitracing.com.
Type LS1 flexplate bolts in the search box http://store.summitracing.com/partde...1&autoview=sku These say metric and for ls1' not sae for sbc like the first link with your part number.
