I’m starting the 4.0 clutch upgrade on my ‘85 2.8l. While trying to install the new 4.0l flywheel I realize the original flywheel bolts are too short. Only two threads are visible on the mounting side of the flywheel. I can’t seem to find longer flywheel bolts.
Has anyone run into this problem?
 
Sounds like you need bolts from the 4.0
 
I have looked up 4.0 flywheel bolts on rockauto and they are too small too. They show to be 23mm and I need a 40mm to clear the flywheel and have enough thread to secure to the crank.
 
summitracing,,,,jegs,,,, ARP fasteners
there are lots of lengths available
flex plate vs flywheel bolts are different lengths, don't get flex plate ones.
 
Yeah I think I’m going to have to go with ARP bolts.
FWIW I stopped by the ford dealership and they stopped caring this bolts. He gave me the part number: e69z-6379-A
