Hardware Store Grade 8 Head Bolts

I agree with what has been said, but imagine my suprise when I picked up a "R" block small block stroker engine built by stanton engines, and it has what looks like regular grade 8 gold colored head bolts. NOT factory bolts and NOT arp..... This was a 10k dollar mopar "crate" motor.

Chevy guys and John Diesel tractor builders use plain ol Grade 8 bolts all the time.
But I don't like the fact there is a slight taper on these MoPar bolts.
