Default LS1 vs. SBC head bolts

Are the bolts the same by any chance? I have an extra set of ARP head bolts laying around for an SBC/LT1, and need a set for my LS1 by the weekend. Any chance my current set will work with my LS1? I haven't pulled the heads yet, so I'm not sure how different the bolts are.

Default head bolts

Won't work. LS1 uses metric fasteners 11 mm x 2.0 the SBC uses 7/16" x 14 english thread. The overall lengths are way different as well.
