Default 4l80e swap and need flex plate bolts

I'm doing a 80e swap in my 01 sierra truck from a t56 its already got a 05 iron block 370 and I'm going to be using a Hughes flex plate and the spacer and a 6 bolt converter. I want to use arp bolts but seems like the only ones I've been able to find are the $60 circle d ones. I found arp PN 244-2902 and it says "GM LS Series with adapter plate Flexplate Bolt Kit" they look longer but I can't seem to find a length on them anywhere. Anyone use these and know if they'll be the right ones?

Thanks

A few questions for you...just to confirm you have the short LS crank? And 4004X Hughes Flexplate? 6 bolt converter, do you now what bolt pattern is on it?

I haven't gotten a converter or flex plate yet but I plan on buying the Hughes HP4004X-EBP flex plate and a billet converter to match it. Should just be the standard 4l80 6 bolt converter pattern. And yes short snout crank.

We offer a 6 bolt converter that will have the longer LS pilot so you would not need the spacer. And with the dished flexplate, you will run the spacer on the converter side of the flexplate, not using it like GM did. So it depends on what converter you plan to get to know if you need the spacer and that will determine the crank bolts you need.

This is what we call a "Dual LS" has both 4L80 and LS bolt patterns on a 6 lug setup with the longer LS pilot. We have it in a single or multi disk option in a 245mm, 258mm or 265mm configuration depending on your setup. This will fit just about every flexplate combo out there.
