High-quality intake manifold bolts designed for 1971–1982 Chevrolet Corvette 350 small-block engines. These bolts secure the intake manifold to the cylinder heads, ensuring proper sealing and torque retention under heat and vibration. Each bolt is marked with 'M' or 'TR' headmarks to match original factory identification for correct placement and authentic restoration. Built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, they offer long-lasting durability, reliable performance, and easy installation for restoration or maintenance projects.
