Would suggest you use 2 packets of ARP SBC converter bolts. These are 3/8UNFx3/4" they come with a nut which you won't need. BUT... what they do come with is a trick little chamfered edge chromoly washer that grips the bolt shank when tightened and helps to stop them coming loose.
Don't forget the LOCTITE.... and around 65ft/lbs on the torque wrench, even thought the manual says 55ft/lbs the extra 10lbs is ok with a grade 8 bolt.
If the flywheel has come loose previously, then I also suggest you run a bastard file lightly over the crank flange to ensure it is still flat.

Cheers Greg..

Nut and bolt place? Coventry Fasteners in South Burnie have helped me with bolts but it helps if you have a sample. Can get the right length, thread and grade.
