I believe RJC has a stainless ARP set he sells. I bought a set about 5 years ago, looks nice.

T/A has them in black and they are ARP # 120-3202. The Buick 350 is the same. Just an option if you want a factory look .

few things to be aware of about water pump & front cover bolts
-anything threading into the engine block needs a sealant as they are mostly open holes into either coolant or oil
-be aware that some of those open holes have a cylinder casting not too far behind. A bolt that’s too long risks driving into that cylinder casting and worst case could cause a nasty crack or a hole.

I am not a fan of the stainless shiny look so i went with is kit ARP # 120-3202, looks more stock and is exactly the same.

I use loctite hydraulic thread sealant. Loctite 545. 100% success rate with that.
Most folks use white Teflon paste.
