To you guys who have done the swap. What bolts besides the ones for the heads did you get that is brand new? What about the ones for the intake?

Thanks.

why would you need to get new bolts for either of those.???

just out of curiosity

i didnt for those things

got a crap load of bolts for other stuff though.

 

Do you swap just the head on the 3vz block ?

 

Very interesting as to why new bolts would be needed. Not unless you were doing cylinder head work on your swapped engine.

One thing you do want to check is the top (I think) starter bolt hole. On my swap the 3.4L starter is threaded in both top and bottom holes and the 3.0 bellhousing is threaded in the top hole only. By the time I noticed this I already had everything installed otherwise I would have drilled out the threads in the top hole of the starter. But instead I simply installed the bolt as stated above. Not a big deal just a little more difficult IMO.

 

Sad to say guys but the engine parts were all disassembled when I purchased it and I need to put it together that's why I am asking where I should get used bolts. I also thought about getting new headbolts since I do not want to see any problems if they expand.

Would LC Engineering might have these bolts?

 

i suggest you do get new head bolts as they are only good for 1 torqueing.

personally i would get the ARP head studs that LC has.

 

Your right Fallman, the headbolts are only good for only one torqueing.


Wow, I'm not sure though whether their 5vzfe Pro Head Stud kit that sells for $207.71 is made by ARP or not but their OEM head bolt kit runs for only $31.66. Definitely hands down that the studs are gonna be better since they could be reused but I am leaning more on getting the OEM head bolts since they only need to be torqued down once and I would literally be forgetting about them.

I want to buy used bolts for the rest of the engine parts and avoid the dealer?

 

hey chard,
You're not done with it yet?

 

Yeah Anthony, a friend is helping me put together the engine and he said that I need these bolts since it's missing when I got the engine parts. Besides that everything should go smoothly.
