Don't remember but be careful not using GM bolts because their height to the head gasket is critical. Are you thinking of using a different bolt?

I sold my sb with the lifters and trays. I need bolts to hold the new trays in.

I would just order from GM. I think the head height is critical to the head gasket.

It would be a lot easier if someone could just size one up and I go to the hardware store. My Chevy dealer sucks.

Hardware store wont help. The GM tray bolts also have a sholder on them to allow you to torque them down a little without cracking the lifter tray...
