I just bought a used bbk ssi. i was told that the bbk ssi uses shorter bolts then the stock bolt... if so does someone know a length bolt for it so i can buy some. the used one i bought doesnt come with the bolts.

Contact BBK, or you can use a bunch of washers.

HMMMM If I recall mine used the stock ones...

What you might have misunderstood is the valley cover bolts... the rear passenger side one needs to be swapped out for a button head to clear the bottom of the intake. This can be found at ACE Hardware...

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.

If your heads have been milled be sure to make sure the intake isn't hitting the top head bolts also. Mine did

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

Yeah supposedly it'll fit with the LS1 coolant tubes, but I had no such luck. Even with slightly flattening the LS1 coolant tubes mine wouldn't fit until I installed the LS6 rear block-offs, and front coolant tube.

yea Im trying to find some local no such luck

You could have a shop that has a good welder/fabricator that you trust modify the rear fittings into block offs, and the front into just a crossover tube. It should be fairly easy work for them to do.

Yea im going to dig out the welder and figure something out my dad always said it can be fabricated so im gonna head to the shop and go for broke
