Yes, you'll need smaller head diameter bolts to attach the clutch cover to the flywheel.

Is this a stock engine? One that won't rev over 5k RPM at the most? I don't want you to experience a clutch explosion like Greg O did.

I'd have to say that any engine operation above 5000 RPM with the scalloped 10" clutch is questionable.
