BOTH Oil Pan Bolt Part #'s Here! Ok, for those of you not wanting to spend a million dollars (Actually a little over 30 dollars) for an oil pan bolt kit to replace 1+ broken/lost LS1/LS6 oil pan bolt (Should work for LS2 as well, don't quote me on that), here you go!
There are 14 bolts on the oil pan:
-12x (Short Bolts: Oil pan to block AND oil pan to front cover)
Size: M8-1.25x30mm Bolts
GM Part #: 11515758
Torq Specs: 18 FOOT lbs.
which sell for a whopping $.43+shipping per quantity 10 on GM Parts Direct. Can't beat that. Took me 2 hours to find this part number... FML
-2x (Long, thin bolts: Oil Pan to Rear Cover)
Size: M6-1.0x135mm Bolts
GM Part #: 12554990
Torq Specs: 106 INCH lbs. (A lot of people overtorque these and break the bolt. Remember: INCH lbs.)
Price: $2.54+Shipping each on GM Parts Direct.
Torq Specs from: http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?category=1
Well, I thought I'd share the fruits of my labor with all of you so you don't spend hours trying to find both these fricking part numbers and a lot more money than you shouldn't have to. Hope this helps some of you guys!

The problem is, you can only purchase a pack of 10 bolts (11515758) off of GMPD, you need 13 of them for the pan. You would have to buy 2 10 packs......
And if you notice, if you buy the 12554990 you automatically have to pay 12.95 shipping...for 2 bolts. The others are "free".
Screen shot of that also.
It is as simple as taking a few minutes to call up the sponsors on the site that sell GM parts and find out how much they are and get a decent quote on shipping and get the info you need. Plus we can sell the bolts individually. So no need to buy 20 of a bolt you only need 13 of.

I searched relentlessly for someone that sold them individually! I didn't see anything about sponsors doing so, but that is something good to know for the rest of us who are poor college students with high maintenance cars. Thanks for chiming in man, didn't realize shipping would be so ridiculous. I love the sponsors on the site, their dedication and kindness never ceases to amaze me 
I searched the depths of hell for those bolts being sold individually... Can I contact you about buying a few?

You can't get M6-1.0x135mm at Autozone and as for the M8-1.25x30mm, you can get them, but they are generally fully threaded. GM oil pan bolts have a shoulder on them.
