Clutch to flywheel bolts

I was prepping my project for tomorrow, and noticed that the clutch to flywheel bolts are the same thread and length as the spring pan bolts I just bought. The new bolts are grade 8, and the same length as the original bolts that came off the clutch when I removed the one.

Are these grade 8 bolts good to use for this application? Not sure about which grade should go in this application -- I've got a bunch of these on hand, so I'd like to use them if they'll work properly.

Grade 8s are probably better than what came on it originally.

You've got something like a maximum of 65 lb-ft of torque at--what--about a 4" radius, so the force on the bolts is about 200 lbs, max. If your engine isn't stock and you've increased the engine output even 50%, it's still only 300 lbs. Not terribly severe service.
