Default Re: Exhaust Manifold Bolts , Big Block

[ QUOTE ]
Based on what I've seen,most 1969-70 Big Blocks including trucks,came with a longer shouldered bolt on the exhaust port end holes,(bolt #3909830 3/8 X 16 X 2&1/16)..and a shorter non-shouldered non-washered bolt on the inside holes,(bolt #3909821 3/8 X 16 X 1&3/16).
Also remember that what GM recommended an engine assembler to install vs. what that assembler actually did install,were not always the same thing.

I've heard this from some of the Corvette guys as well.
