Re: Replace head bolts? IS PARAGON THE SOURCE?
I am leaning toward Paragon for the head bolts. I am bolting the motor back together with the intention to do mostly cruising and occasional run down the track. From what I am hearing I think they will work fine.
As long as I am at it I am considering using Paragon for purchasing fasteners for the following. Oil pan, timing chain cover, water pump and etc? Not sure if all the bolt markings translate to Camaro. If I'm gonna buy them I'd like to get it right.

Re: Replace head bolts? IS PARAGON THE SOURCE?
Darren,
I'm not sure if it shows up in their catalog, but Paragon has a paper chart (maybe 18x24) that shows all their bolt head markings and sizes available. I have one in my shop. It's a very quick reference if you need to match up an original one from the car. Saves messing with the catalog. I'm sure you can get one if you request it. Verne

Called Paragon. Apparently the SB head bolts are a generic replacement that spans 1954 to 1982. You need to order 2 sets at $45 a piece. No indication of what markings they have on them. Oh well.

Bummer! I hope you didn't tell them you owned a Camaro.
  Darren, if you can tell me what your original head markings are, (better yet, post a pic) and the bolt sizes you need, I'll check that chart I have tonight. If they have them, I can give you the part numbers tomorrow. Verne.
