5/16 torque converter bolts

View attachment 1715782776 View attachment 1715782764 View attachment 1715782764 View attachment 1715782764 Bought a 72 Demon complete, less engine, set up for racing. Came with a 727 tranny, and a hi stall 10 inch Torque converter. But it has the small 5/16 bolts that attach the flex plate to the torque converter. I think I'll re tap the threads for 3/8 bolts, as I have some already. The flex plate is the smaller street hemi type, with a diameter of 10" I've never seen a performance T converter with the 5/16 bolts, except on a stock 383. Has anyone used the 5/16 bolts on a 512 stroker motor? I just don't think they are strong enough. Any ideas?
