A bit on the short side, but should work fine. 1½" is OE if memory serves.

You can get entirely adequate flange-head bolts at Lowe's for a fraction of that price... not sure if you have any Lowe's in your area though...

Re: Bellhousing bolts

dang... that's a lot of money for bellhousing bolts.. hit a junkyard and find some factory flange head bolts. they used the same ones in everything with a small block V8 or 90 degree V6 from the early 70's to the late 90's..

Thanks for the heads up, I grabbed some 1.5" long 3/8 -16 flanged bolts from lowes for about $0.80 each.
