Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Dec 2019 Posts: 22 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2019 Posts: 22 | I have a 53 235 engine main bolts needed. I have a couple of main bolt broken. When I look for new bolts they list 54 thru 62 . So will they work on 53 235 main bolts? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 10 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 10 | I have a set of main bearing caps and bolts out of a '56 235. There are four 3" bolts with 9/16"-12 threads, and Six 2 1/2" bolts with 1/2"-13 threads. If these are the same as yours the 54 through 62 bolts should work. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2019 Posts: 22 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2019 Posts: 22 | Thanks bolts are supposed to be here at the end of this week. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 10 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 10 | I just re-measured the bolts and there are four, three inch 9/16-12 bolts, four 2 3/8" 1/2-13 bolts and two 2 1/2" 9/16-12 bolts. Sorry for the confusion and I hope this is what you need.

I think I will find a 250 engine. Could I possibly be able to use the ARP bolts on a 250 engine? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 28,674 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 28,674 | No, there are a different number of bolts, different size, and 7 main bearing instead of 4 on the 250. You're opening up a huge can of worms if you try to go to the later model engine- - - -nothing will fit. The bell housing bolt pattern is different, and so are the motor mounts. Where are the cracks you're concerned about?

The cracks was on the side of the block were the oil pump mounts to. Another crack was on back of the engine block. Were the rear main bolts. | | |
