Reusing main bolts?

For a 355 build up I would like to be able to use the stock oil pan and windage tray. To do this can I reuse the main bolts to bolt on the windage tray agian? Or does someone make these bolts that I can buy new agian?

Oh yea. How much power can stock bolts handle? I know the rod bolts were weak. These arnt right? They seem pretty thick. They will be on a motor with cam and heads with a 150-200 shot.

Why not spend a little extra and get a good set of studs? Its cheap insurance, and highly recommended on a nitrous motor.
