Default which size head bolts?

I have a 99 ls1 in my SS and just bought a set of PRC 2.5 5.3 heads and was wanting to know which style bolts I need. I know the 99 ls1 has different length bolts for the heads, but I don't know about the 5.3. And also if anyone has had any problems out of the felpro mls head gaskets? Thanks

The year of block dictates the hardware, heads are the same thickness... You need the Pre-04 bolts or studs.

This. Heads have no bearing on the matter.
