Anyone know the bolt size and length for the transmission bellhousing to block bolts (6 of them) for a 1972 402?

The factory bolts were 3/8-16 x 1 3/8 (not positive on the length).

Standard 1 1/2" long bolts will usually bottom out in the female threads so you may want to compensate with washers or cut them off if this happens.
