You do need shorter bolts. I believe M8 x 1.00 x 80mm would be perfect. I used 75mm (what i could find) and they were a little shorter once through the intake but still more than enough threads to torque to specs.

I have to correct my last post. I got confused with the valley cover bolts, for the BBK intake you need M6 x 1.00 bolts. The 75mm length ones held without washers but only a few threads. I was going to switch with 8mm but saw some 100mm M6 studs and bought them. I double nutted them and threaded them all the way in and topped them off with stainless nuts, washers and lock washers. I hope when I take the intake off there will be enough clearance but if I have to removing the studs won't be too big of a deal.

Im installing a bbk ssi intake also I clearanced all the valley cover bolts got new gaskets I used washers as the local ace didnt have the shorter intake bolts I needed now it seems the coolant lines on the valley cover are gonna keep the intake from seating correctly im installing the intake on a 2000 camaro
