I am needing new bolts for heads and main caps for 292 block. Talking to Ted he said the ARP bolts was overkill. He says get a good grade 8 bolt instead. A 4 year old post on this site indicates that caterpillar Grade 8 were the best to get. Does any one know what the part numbers would be for Cats bolts and washers or What size bolts do I need to ask for as mine are with the block in the machine shop to many miles away to go measure if I can help it. Any info is appreciated. Thanks
