I'm fitting my WP pulley I'll be using electric fans so there'll be no need to use the fan. Can I eliminate the WP studs and use bolts instead? Anyone know what size?
The studs from the '87 BB are just about a 1/8th of an inch too long anyway. If I use new studs, they'll need to be shorter or I'll have to cut them. The bolts will probably be about an inch or so.

Yes, just make sure they are not too long,

5/16, don't remember if they are fine thread or not though. Pull a stud and take it to the hardware store.

GDaina

Fine thread, I think.

Jughead

You're both correct, 5/16 fine thread. shortest they had was 0.75in. I'll cut them.
