Pressure plate bolts?

[SlowAndHighTBI]

I'm swapping a 2003 lq4 into my 89 k1500 with a nv3500.

I'm getting ready to drop my engine in and I just realized that I don't have any pressure plate bolts.

I'm using a sbc 12" clutch and a flywheel for a 4.8. I don't want to chance using the lsx torque converter bolts, because up to this point my luck has been terrible and I'm pretty sure that the shoulder on the pressure plate bolts help align the pressure plate.

Can anyone please tell me where I can source some bolts for this?

arp has them! 10mm x 1.50. make sure that sbc plate lines up.

Thanks, man! The plate does line up nice. However, the holes for the bolts are 3/8" so I'm gonna have to ream em' out a bit.

Nice looking truck in your sig too. Is your roof painted black? That looks killer with the black wheels and tint.

I had to do the same to a s10 a couple months ago with a 'ram' pp, 'centerforce' disc.
thanks; vinyl roof, but its coming back off.

Well, I started torquing everything down.....Let me just say, If you are using an O'Reilly's flywheel for your swap DO NOT torque the pressure plate to LS1 specs (52lb ft). The threads WILL pull right out. I hope a few helicoils will get me out of this one. Once I get the threads are straightened out, it's getting snugged down to SBC specs (30lb ft) with gobs of red loc tite.
