I was hoping that one of the members would be able to answer this?
I purchased a 350 cu. engine the other day and notice that all the head bolts were 13mm or 1/2 ". I have never seen this compared to the 5/8 I'm use too. Any help with this would be great.
Thank Dan

i bought a long block from a dealer 1 time that had these smaller head bolts that u speak of. it was for a tbi 350. i installed it and havent had any problems. i just thought it was a newer style bolt.

I was wondering are the head bolt's size Metric or SAE the thread size maybe 1/2 SAE. What would be the torque valve?
thanks for the help.

I can't tell you if it was from a car/ truck? It is a 4bolt main.
Thanks, Dan
