Torque converter Bolts

I understand that these are the bolts recommended and that the  Flexplate to Torque Conv bolts
are supposed to have thinner heads.

I called ARP and was told that the bolts are the same!

ARP-200-2903:  6-Bolts-Crank to Flexplate 7/16-20 x .500
ARP-240-7302:  4- Flexplate to Torque Conv. 7/16-20 x .500

For those who have used there bolts, can you verify that they are different  and the  ARP-240-7302
have thinner heads than the ARP-200-2903 bolts.

I used the 200-2903 crank bolts on my converter, clearance wasn't a problem.

I just received a reply from ARP, below:

John,
Both kits contain the same bolt which has a head height of appx. .200".

One COULD use the MANUAL Flywheel bolts with an auto flex plate, but I've run into problems using the AUTOMATIC flexplate bolts in a MANUAL Flywheel due them being too short. You WILL pull the threads out of the crank...Heads were pretty much the same when dealing with the stock bolts and didn't run into any clearance problems.

Get this though, I have used FORD and SOME Chevy Manual Flywheel bolts in Mopars. Just FYI.
