I don't have any, but just got done putting a hybrid TBI intake onto a Vortec motor. FYI, there is nothing special about the bolts, unless you are going for the "stock" look. They are 5/16" diameter. I forget the length, but it seems they are about 1 1/2" long. I pulled the stock bolts out and used longer bolts to attach the engine to the lift when i put the engine in. A hardware store should have them, or GM parts. I could imagine that GM will be high $$$ though.

yes.. you are "right on the money"
in more ways than one.... the bolts
are plain... i ordered some from GM...
the counter guy let me see them...didnt buy them.
i got some from my NAPA store..
GM lists for $5.00 and some change for each.. EACH bolt... grrrrr.

thank you for your input.

They come with sealant applied to the threads dont they? Also dont for get the 11 lb/ft torque spec.

New GM gaskets(ones with the metal anti crush tabs) or the FelPro problem solver gaskets are the way to go.

Goodluck

peace

Just order the ARP ones. Better quality and cheaper then GM. Check at your local speed shop for p/n 134-2002 for the factory look ones. 12 point and stainless are also available

And yes, use the Fel Pro Problem Solver p/n MS-98000T gaskets. They will save you a real issue down the road.
