Default what Head bolts do i need??
I am doing a head swap On my 2000 WS.6 ls1 and I need to know what length, size, brand head bolts to buy?

The heads are 5.3l heads milled .030, and by them being milled means they are a little shorter than stock. Should I just use the stock size bolt length?

Go down to the local auto parts store and get a set of Fel-Pro TTY bolts.

Will these cover both sides? And do you have a P/N?

Dont need a part number, they can pull it up in their computer. You need 2 boxes, one box does one head. Or pull it up on the auto parts website and write the number down.

So the heads being milled doesn't meant buy shorter bolts?
