As the title says, anyone know where to buy like a complete kit of engine bolts, nuts, screws for a lt1? I was an *** when taking apart my motor and mixed/lost everything pretty much, plus my sister thought most of it was garbage and threw a lot of stuff out

so any ideas if there is such a kit...?

 

arp makes a kit that i believe is pretty complete but i dont have any first hand info as i have never used it

 

yerp, they have dress kits that comes almost complete ranging from 40-100 bucks depending on how "dressy" you gettum...

 

Do you guys have any part #'s or links to these "kits".

 

not cheap

Your best bet would be to call:

If he's still in business. Looks like there's a phone number there, but not sure of the area code.

Try these people too:

You might be able to mix/match bolts/nuts off of other SBC's as well. Especially those w/ a 1-piece rear main.

 

I have the ARP 6-pt. set. It is a about $40 less than the 12-pt version for some reason.

thank you, thats pretty much what i was looking for, gonna get a gasket kit as well

 

i bought a set on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2BSI%26otn%3D4

real nice kit- they're all labeled in plastic bags and for <$50

 

sweet dude, thanks for the heads up, was just about to get the arp set for more than double that!

 

Not to say these bolts wont hold things together, but IMHO they aren't really "automotve bolts" - more like just hardware store bolts that happen to be the same sizes as the bolts for an LT1.

In this picture notice how the bolts have the flange/built in washer under the head ... that is how OEM bolts look, and the way the bolts ARP makes looks. The bolts from ebay don't have that so personally I wouldn't use them. Maybe I am just **** but it is details like that, which would keep me awake at night because I didn't do something the "right way."

 

didnt even notice that, guess im so busy man trying to organize everything, guess its back to ARP

 

what would it matter if the washer was on the bolt or not?

 

and if you look at the pics in the arp kit in summit, the washers are seperate from the bolts like the ebay kit

 

So does that kit come with opti bolts or not? It says it has a bolt for the distributor clamp but we don't need that.

 

lol hardware store bolts.
