The 7.3 you can reuse them BUT you must bottom tap the threads in the block to ensure they are clean. If they have grung in the holes the bolts may bottom out on it before torquing to spec. Also use some light oil on the bolt threads when installing them.

Are you aware of the correct torque values and patterns, if not click on my name and email me and I will forward that info.
