" And yet another thought:  Should you go with a 16 or 24 thread?
" Not sure which is stronger, but since the other head bolts are a

fine is usually stronger, but i agree - if the others are coarse,
stick with it.

" I'd also like to know what the bolt spacing is and if the specs we
" are talking about are applicable to all the V8's.

i don't see why not.  they're all basically the same, and if anything
it should be easier on the smaller bores.
