...I'd say all grade 8 bolts on the market are made in china, do you really want that inside this engine? I don't want this to turn into a p'ing contest but I just went on the Fastenal website and they had a number of Grade Eight bolts that are made in the USA.

I have run an aftermarket cross bolt in my Hemi that has seen 9000 RPM if that really matters with zero problems. They were made in North American and I made sure of that 25 years ago. The only real difference is what is cast into the head of the cross bolt. My next Hemi Build will likely have studs on the mains and other places. If no one can see any of the fastening hardware on the inside of the motor why not build the motor with the best parts. Ask Scott to take some measurements on the cross bolt length and the thread length and go buy some American made hardware. They will not cost much so even putting them on the shelf can not hurt.

Better to be pi*sed off, than p*ssed on, I made a true statement, I went to Fastenall to get grade 8 bolts for my lower ball joints, and everything in their catalog was china made, their catalog, not mine, and show me one box store that has US made stuff, that you would put in an engine, but if you would have read what I said, then you wouldn't be a Richard Cranium. I know there are US made bolts out there, but you have to look for them, you just can't find them easy, especially if you live in a small town.
