Yes, as long as your engine makes less than 4,000 hp.

On my old (now HEMIFRED's) Duster, I had a one piece motor plate with a Meziere water pump, held together by 6 stainless steel socket cap screws from Lowe's. Block is an iron Megablock. Hung together with no issues for 5 years. And than blown Hemi was heavy!
I held my blown 3000 HP hemi in my TAD with less!!
It's only a water pump and motor plate, it ain't like were talking a rod or something!

I'm one of the few who aren't a fan of stainless steel bolts PERIOD!
Into an iron block sure, but involve aluminum or a stainless steel nut in any way.... and I run, and don't look back!!!!!!!
white lithium grease or never sieze will help solve that problem, we use sst fastner's every day, mostly aircraft quality 316/316L grade , some 304 grade but the material is softer and has less chromium and will actually rust(corrode). 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I've twisted off a few SS bolts, Anything from a hardware store scares the crap out of me! I have to use SS hardware on my boat, I always thought SS was hard metal until now..
Just hard to cut because it work hardens. Use anti-seize with any bolt that screws into aluminum not just SS. SS bolt will gall onto a SS nut so anti-seize or loc-tite is a good idea there too.

In shear and tensile strength, a grade 5 bolt is 3 x stronger than the same sized SS bolt at the hardware store. a Grade 8 is 4 x stronger.

If you had an ALUMINUM block would you have still installed the stainless hardware?
I've seen so many galled aluminum parts- even with anti-seize attempts- with stainless fasteners I am now officially a scare-D-cat.
Apply Never-Seize liberally on the threads. Better yet, use studs instead of bolts. Drive them in slowly to reduce heat and friction.
What does "galling" mean??

They used to attach the engines in top fuelers with hose clamps on hte frame rails; there isn't that much force that it would require anything special. I have used Stainless ARP bolts about everywhere in our aluminum engine. Neverhad galling problems, but they tend to loosen every once in a while, mainly intake/exhaust/oil pan bolts. Don't know if that's because of the material or something else though.
