Nuts n Bolts-What do you know guys?

[Carolinaturbot6]

First of all, let me say that I have inquired about purchasing these from a couple of good fellas (not mobsters), & am awaiting availability & pricing. Can any of you tell me the sizes of the following & if I can get these new or not?

1) Waterpump bolts
2) Timing Cover bolts & studs
3) 2 bolts & 2 studs for upper plenum
4) 2 Throttle body to plenum nuts
5) Header studs (to the head)
6) Motor mount bolts

I know that alot of you know this stuff & would really appreciate your comments. Thanks

These sizes will be the thread size of the studs or nuts. You'll have to figure the lengths you need or someone else will provide that info.

water pump 1/4" USS bolts

timing cover 5/16" USS bolts or studs as needed

upper plenum 10mm

TB to plenum 10mm

header studs or bolts 3/8" USS

Motor mount bolts 7/16" USS

I don't see why you can't buy the sizes you need at some hardware store that carries a large nut and bolt assortment. Hope this helps.

You certainly did help John, & I appreciate it. Someone had told me a while back that all of those had been discontinued. I would just like to find out what the sizes/lengths are so I can get my motor finished.

I also think that this info, although not commonly asked here, could help someone out in the future. If someone knows where the different sizes & lengths could be found (other than your motor) please let me know.

Aren't 3) and 4) M8x1.25? I don't know about the others.

I've had good luck with the following:

The original motor mount bolts were 7/16" - 14 x 7/8" long Hex Head Cap Screws. They have a lock washer used with them as well. I believe the torque is 58 ft lbs. If you are using our poly motor mounts, we have a thicker & stronger plate, and supply new 1" long bolts to keep the same thread engagement.

There is a cool chart with torque specs listed on gnttype.org:

Hope that helps.
