You want no less than 1&1/4 times the bolt dia, that amount of thread engagement including gasket/washers etc & a bit more than that is OK. Mockup what you have & if you have a certain # of bolts of a particular length/thread/etc that might help you group them. Most critical is the DR front of the block where the front cyl wall on that bank is the closest

RR I can testify about that front bolt.We did a cam change on my kids old 318.He Had all the bolts in order.Put the front cover on and added coolant.I hear water going in the pan.Long to short he put in too long a bolt and put a hole in the cylinder.Lucky I had another complete 318 sitting.I put it together instead of letting him.Rocky

Yeah Mr Murphy does not play but luckily he dont come around very often. In high school shop class a kid added some coolant to a somewhat overheated eng that was low & he did not start it up first, you know the rest... There was a thread here (on Moparts) way back with members sharing their mechanical mishaps during their careers & it was one of the longest threads ever
