This is why I conduct a bolt audit on every car.
This pisses me off when I find aftermarket bolts or non mopar bolts of any kind on my cars
This was on the starter

LOL we could couldn't we...….
The Place you took it out of? Sometimes the trans have shorter ones on the top? I think.
Doesent bother me, only some aftermarket hardware isnt good enough to hold the kid’s swing set together.
I dont ever use any bolts less then grade 5.
I do have tons of used hardware, and lately i have been seperating
Oe type hardware aside for the projects.
just have to pay attention to casting thickness.
That's funny did a bit of organizing today also had two coffee cans of used distrib screws, tumbled them then sent a few hours separating them out, kind of glad that is done. Some you just cannot find that even look close.

So is the bolt supposed to protrude out of the back.
I put the long version on bell behind the oil filter because that is what came off and you can in the first pic.
The second pic is on the driver side and I tried medium and on the back is flush with the casting. In the second pic.
This is a 74 360 I just tried the bolts on.

I'm thinking I need the longer one on the driver side and it should protrude
Why else would they sell them in 2 packs

A lot of kits sold have the longer shoulder, I don't think I like that

I think I figured it out.
The long one is bellhousing on both sides.
Short is starter
Medium takes a nut and goes on the engine to trans support on the bottom
That's to long rule of thumb with any fastener is 1.5 threads. They sell the longer one in the kit because of the trans brace every one throws away.
SOLD - transmission to engine support brackets small block 727 $25 shipped
Only people that have never seen a broken bellhousing throw them away.
Cool pic.

Now there's a new problem.
Seems the engine to transmission supports are different between a 318 and 340/60
These supports came off a 318 and the driver side is too short for a 360

Hello Everyone. Got most all the Demon work done. Had to make up a gasket for the tunnel ram once I got to Dads. FYI, using a correct for your needed hole size gun shell casing in a drill press to make the bolt holes. Cuts very nice and clean. Reassembly of carbs and tunnel ram top tomorrow before people show up. Hope everyone is having a good day/evening.
If you really want to know, i could check my 318/904 that is all bolted together.
I hate when you get a new part with bolts that have sae threads and a metric head, I'm like
Sounds like a ford thing to me.I hate when you get a new part with bolts that have sae threads and a metric head, I'm like
the one that gets me, the brass union for 3/16”inverted brake line fittings isnt anything. not that properly fits in my wrench drawer. Not sae, not metric.
Some are ok, most are not.

Just the facts, ma'am
IIRC the 360 is the oddball.
I have one wrong here too.
Lemme see if I can find what I learned/figured out this evening. I sure dont 'remember off the top of my head,
I could be wrong, but some brackets had 2 holes. For 2 different castings,maybe?
I sent request to Arlington for pass, no reply, over a year ago....You are welcome to come here, and stay here, anytime you like. I will give you a personal tour. I have special pass into Arlington National Cemetary, since both of my parents are there......
Totally agree all mine have them.
