Well Darren,
I went out in the shop and got greasy last night. (sorry, no digital pictures). My original 7/16-14 SB head bolts are as follows:
Long: 14 per engine, 3 11/16", One raised circle 13/32" dia with 1 recessed circle 7/32" dia, with a "C" in the center
Med: 4 per engine: 2 7/8", same raised circle, no center recess, rasied "CP" in center
Short: 16 per engine: 1 3/4", same raised circle, no center recess, raised "U" in center. Also found more shortys with the same head as the Med. bolts.

After all that, Paragon's chart didn't even come close to any of them, markings OR lengths.
Sorry.

Verne
