I am doing a 4.0 head conversion and my 1983 258 (4.2L) engine uses 7/16 inch bolts. The 4.0 head uses 1/2 inch bolts. Does anyone know where I can purchase 7/16 head bolts with sleeves to fit in 4.0 head conversion? Or do you know if the engine block can be machined to 1/2 inch holes while the engine is still in the Jeep?
