Default 1989 3.9L Cylinder Head Bolts

Ok, need your help again. I have fresh heads going back on my 89 3.9 engine. I can't find a new cylinder head bolt kit on the web. Should I reuse the originals or try to find new ones? If new is necessary will plain grade 8 bolts work or is there a specific bolt type needed?

Appreciate the help.

Well, there won't be one for the 3.9; but if you buy a 273/318/5.2/340/360/5.9 set, you'll just have a few extras left over.

Yah, that's what the 4.3 GM guys used to do for the longest; order a 350 set and leave the extra cylinder bolts out *grins*
