Sbc Bolt Sizes Anyone???
Does anyone know or have a link to all the bolt sizes for a small block chevy?
I know the harmonic damper is 7/16 - 20 x 2.25 and the cam bolts are 5/16 - 18 x 3/4 and the exhaust manifold bolts are 3/8 - 16 x 3/4.
Anyone know the sizes of the 3 different head bolts, main bolts 4 or 2 bolt, oil pan bolts, oil pump bolt (I think this one is 7/16 - 14 x 2.25 but im not sure), intake manifold, valve cover, thermostat housing, distributor, timing cover, water pump, all accessories (alternator, pulleys, etc.)
I think this would be very helpful to anyone building a sbc. Too late ive already bought all of my bolts in a kit or i wouldve definitely taken advantage of this. I guess it would be easiest to just start a running list.
Harmonic damper = 7/16 - 20 x 2.25
Cam bolts = 5/16 - 18 x 3/4
Exhaust manifold bolts = 3/8 - 16 x 3/4
Oil pump = 7/16 - 14 x 2.25
