Thanks Walt and Steve.
By hot street a mean I'll have a 79 3.0, mahle 9.7CR pistons, 40 webers, a street grind cam (TBD) and maybe twin plug just because of the pistons. The rest will be mostly stock.
I don't want huge HP or lumpy cams as it's going into a narrow body 914 that I want 100% street drivable. I want 200-220HP, pulls like a truck and reliable.

I almost bought this engine, I'm building one almost the same:

Maybe one day it will see an AX or DE, but I've never bothered with one yet.

Sorry if this is a hi-jack, still about rod bolts though.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
