1G flex plate bolts..

[1fastcolt]

so i have read that the arp 5 spd bolts work the best but need to be cut shorter (?).. I have a eagle crankshaft and not sure how deep there threads go? others say use oem but with the hp im shooting for they suggest torque to 150 ft#.. and I have read the oem wont take that much.. so my question is which bolts should I use since there are so many different answers out there?.. 6 bolt eagle crank with kiggly flexplate and friction spacer.

once this is figured out I will go on to my next question about rebuild kits/parts .. till then. thanks much.

Steve

Hey Steve, what bolts did you end up using?

Hey Steve, what bolts did you end up using?

none yet.. still waiting on parts.. I did put 2 of my manual bolts on and had to use washers to make it snug... ( was testing flexplate fitment/clearance to the rear main seal housing) and I have auto bolts coming.. so will measure them with the flex and kiggly shim I ordered to see how much thread is in crank. from what ive gathered and read if its just the flex and 1 shim the auto bolts should be ok.. im gonna loctite the heck out of it all.. I watched this vid about 10 times so far.. and after about the 3rd time it all fell into place ..

I am not much help, as I can't remember exactly what bolts I used on my 1g auto, but I am attaching some pictures and maybe it will give a better idea.

So I got the arp auto ones and they looked fine as far as length so I went ahead and just installed them... tons of loctite like in that vid so hopefully they stay... also put a kiggly shim in there.. in pic next to center diff..
