Intake Bolt Length

I came across some stainless 3/8"-16 x 1 1/2" bolts. Before I go through the process of polishing them does anyone know what length the intake bolts on a small block are?

Re: Intake Bolt Length

Call O'Reilly's or AZ and check the intake bolt length. I think mine were 1 1/4" long, but I am not positive. I know the middle four can be longer since they have no bottom, but I don't know the maximum length.

One on each side will hit a pushrod if it is too long. With my intake, a 1.5" bolt hit the pushrod, 1.25" was all clear.
