I asked this in tech ...... but I'm ordering things NOW & need an answer NOW if I can get one. I'm ordering Breslin header bolts. Do I have to get the 1" ones ..... or will the 0.75" ones work?

["tech in talk" ---- I dare them to move it!!!!! ]

the 1" will hold better...or what i have been told.

But like said, either will work. One thing i noticed with bigger primaries is that some of the 1" bolts are harder, if not impossible, to get in there.

Well .... I just settled for some FRPP Grade 8 bolts for these shorties. They have had a good rep. & are cheaper. I WILL get the full locking Breslin's later, though (for LT's). There will be an entirely different engine in there ..... this one will be going into something else. It doesn't need the best of the best until I get started on that, though. Thanks for the help guys!
