Default LS1 Intake bolts

Hey guys, I swapping over my new Ls1 intake to my L33 and the intake didn't come with the needed bolts and my old Truck intake bolts won't work. Does anyone know where I can pick up some of these bolts for cheap, I called the dealership and they qouted me $5 a bolt, which ends up being more than I paid for the intake. Anyone know the bolt thread and size needed?

Also, the three bolts that mount the throttle body to the intake are missing too! Sorry, I know I'm cheap, but I'm trying to keeping my spending as low as possible so that I can put the extra cash toward Mods. Thanks for any help.

I broke one of my bolts off in the intake and took one of the good bolts to ACE hardware and found what I needed. I would just go look around and check the threads to make sure they are good. The service manual says M6x1.0x21.8, 13.6 OD.

Ok, anyone else with anymore info. I picked up some of the bolts in the post above and they look to be a little short for the bolts that connect the throttle body to the intake. But I'm still a little clueless to the size of the bolts that connect the manifold to the heads.

ARP makes some nice chrome intake bolts if you want to splurge a little.

Might just have to go this route. Ok, does anyone have the size and thread specs on these bolts, so I can try to pick them up at Ace hardware or something? Sorry, I don't have a FSM.

i think the intake bolts are m6 x 1.0 x 105, i found that fastenal can get 110 mm in this size for 0.90 a bolt, but they're special order. not positive, but i think that with a washer the 110 should be ok. i'm gonna try it out anyway.
