Yes, but it is the ones on the left front and right rear corners that 
are of note, especially if you want to bolt on an A/C pump, and while 
there are "many" on a 65 140, on the 66 and later, all engines afaik, 
the top shroud to head bolts are "all" 3/8x16. Not just the ones under 
the alternator.

There is/was a picture on the web somewhere, maybe Bryan's pages, 
showing the difference. Should be the first mod you make if you are 
putting A/C on an engine with 65 or earlier heads.
