I'm replacing my broken harmonic balancer and in the process I mangled my harmonic balancer bolts, not my crank pulley bolts. Saw some on LMR but they are ARP and about $25 per bolt! I don't need all that. Just some stock replacements. Checked summit but couldn't fine some for any less. Also, headed to the NMRA race in Charlotte next weekend (I'm pumped), should I just try to pick some up at the swap meet? Any ideas and/or part numbers?

I think you are a little confused here (or i maybe).

You say you mangled your balancer bolts, not your pulley bolts in the opening post.
Then he asks if you want the pulley bolts, and you accept.

There is only one balancer bolt.
It's expensive because it may only be rated for one time use.
Arp bolts you can use over and over.

Also note that if you have underdrive pulleys, the crank pulley may be so small that it requires different bolts.

I caught that as well. But i assumed cause he said bolt(s) and not bolt he was needing the 4 bolts that hold the pulley onto the balancer. If you are needing the 1 big balancer bolt let me know before I send the wrong thing.

Sorry for the confusion. I need the 4 bolts that hold my stock crank pulley onto my balancer. I do not have any underdrive pulleys. And those things are pricey. Even like the Mr Gasket bolts (for the crank pulley) are about $15 per bolt. On the other hand I saw a Ford crank bolt (that goes into the crank snout) are only $10 per bolt on LMR.

If it were me, i'd take one to the hardware store.
Match it up, and get a grade 8 version.

Underdrive pulleys usually come with new bolts (allen heads for clearance reasons), and i doubt they are any better than grade 8.
