Screwed....lost two head bolts

[Mpdlawdog]

Ok well finally got to putting my motor back together...got one side done and realized I was missing an upper and lower head bolt...somewhere between the machine shop and my house I managed to lose them..what the heck do I do???  Tighten up what I have leaving the last two bolt spots empty until I can score one??  This really sucks..... Anybody have a upper and lower head bolt lying around

Do not tighten what you have!!!
Wait till you have a full set then go thru the tighten sequence.
Someone here might have a few.
What size motor?

[Mpdlawdog]

340....sorry. I figured. Does it matter as far as the head sitting on the block without being tightened?  I was told both ways..

Where are you located?  If you're close to MA I have some you can have for free.  If not, posting your location will let others local to you know who may have some for you.

This might be a good time to invest in some ARP head bolts or get some locally.

Ask your machine shop; they might have them in stock, or have some laying around; Maybe yours. Don't torque until you have all of them but you can put the head in place if you want to.

Surely to God there's an auto wrecker somewhere near you. A 318, 340 or 360 all use the same bolts and a trip out to the engine pile with the right socket and Johnson bar would do the trick. Scrap metal guys also usually have engines laying around, just find a Mopar and you're set. Just my

if you're going to pay for a used one i'd just pay for a new one. 20 dollar insurance policy.
