The industry for which this fastener is best utilized is for constructing wooden gates! Anything more complex, including starter bolts is best left to a combination of Half Height and Full Height Sheer Stop Nuts, 12 Point hardened nuts with appropriate strength studs, Jet Nuts, AN Washers and #262 Red Locktite. (Blue does not exist in car fabrication) unless you like retightening fasteners for exercise.

Well Rick, to be absolutely truthful, reaching down there and tightening them up once or twice a year is easier than replacing them. The only wrench I can get in to the top bolt is a thin-walled 1/2" stubby box wrench -- I can probably get 15 ft/lbs with it, if that, maybe.... Here's what ARP sells for the full size FE three bolt starter and what I should have in there:
