Starter bolts

[MASTERBrian]

I'm having the hardest time trying to find bolts for the starter for a 1974 sbc. It's a factory style starter and the thickness of the casing is 3-5/8", so the bolts need to be longer....4-1/4"?

Doorman makes some but they don't have the cross hatch, do I need that? The ones that everyone carries that had the cross hatch are either too long or way to short.

Any suggestions?

The Dorman bolts for my build were from Rock Auto. I ended up with a 10 pack and they came with the knurling. Whats the length you need? I have extras happy to send a couple if you want. Knurling keeps the bolts/starter in alignment
by taking up the slack in the hole.

How much do I need in the block? The starter is 3-5/8" thick, so that plus the block.

I just measured my starter and it's 3 1/4". The bolts have 3/4" of thread on the ends.

So the bolts are 4"? That would give me 3/8", is that enough?

Those might just work. I suppose I can either get part number or buy two from you. Here's my starter....
