It will not hurt anything to cut a few threads off the end of the bolts. ARP Pontiac flexplate bolts require no mods.
I went with the Stage 8 292 bolts, which at least from what I could come up with in a search, are listed as either Hemi or Chrysler big block FLYWHEEL bolts. I had to cut them down as I have an automatic. I believe they are available only directly from Stage8.
