Stainless are not as strong as grade eight, but they are stronger than grade 5's. I use a lot of stainless bolts (even in areas intended to have grade 8, I've not had a break yet. Sounds like you're just going to use them on a gasketed cover? 10lbs torque or so? .You'll be fine.
A P.S. the quality of the chrome bolts varies greatly, if you're concerned about strength use stainless, if you polish( On a grinder with a polishing wheel) stainless they look as good as chrome.
