When I had my transmission out and with Bill B, I should have pulled the engine! Definitely would have been easier..

All parts back from powder coat. Finally going back together starting today. Gloss Black and Flame Red are going to look great on '91 #473! I'm ready to get this thing on our Dyno and throw some fuel at it. Gotta look good going fast, eh? I'm staying with OEM black for the cam cover bolts.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]

Beautiful!

TB reassembled and ready.. the 6-0.6 metric Torx screws gave me fits removing them (small tack weld used to lock them in place). I swapped over to 8-32 button head screws and used blue thread locker. Much easier and will allow future rebuild if necessary. No DAG needed. Throttle plates have virtually no light around them! On to the final valley cleaning and reassembly..[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]

Oooh, very pretty, very shiny. Can’t wait to see it all put together Steve. I do think that stainless bolts would really pop on those shiny black cam covers and the plenum.

Btw, I’m leaving on the Elk Hunt tomorrow, been really looking forward to this.

Your color choice is very close to mine. I left the center strip in the plenum brushed aluminum. And I used the SS allen head caps for bolting.

Where did you get the SS Cap Screws? Jerry has them for the cam covers, what about the plenum to injector housings bolts?

Jerry has them all. They come in individually marked bags. I'm sure we pay a premium from Jerry, but that's ok.

If I may suggest...

McMaster-Carr is one of the biggest industrial supply outfits. They offer a huge catalog and have on-line ordering. (M-C is where i got the bolts you are asking about, but there are other sources as well.)

FASTENAL is another industrial supply store. They're smaller than MC, but do carry most everything for my cars I ever needed, including many electrical connectors (e.g., Weather Pack, etc.) Check for local listings.

And, believe it or not, good ol' ACE HARDWARE too has a decent selection of fastener type hardware including "grade 8" stuff like flywheel bolts, I have found.

Home Depot and Menards too carry a good bit of nuts/bolts/screws/etc.

Anywayz... These are some of my favorite sources for fastener hardware of all kinds.
