Flywheel bolts besides ARP??

I ordered the factory ones but they’re wrong, they’re way too short, they’re most certainly for a flex plate not for a flywheel but I can’t seem to find anything else. I won’t buy more ARP flywheel bolts. I had to drill 3 of them out of this engine I just bought. The heads are too short and it just stripped them right out. Poor design. I will not do this again.

Buy bolts for an LS3 Camaro. They ALL came with manual trannies.

Flywheel / Flexplate bolts... If you had a problem taking out ARP's I know why. They followed the directions and used red Loctite. You have to heat it to loosen it.

When the first one stripped out I grabbed my mapp torch. 2 more still stripped out. I’ll look into the ls3 camaro bolts.

A search for -ls3 flywheel bolts- brought me to some on jegs and the description said manual transmission only so fingers crossed these are the right ones.
