Yep wet header bolts on a big-block. That's why so many prefer to run studs and nuts instead of bolts (if they fit). Less chance of coolant leaks.

You might get an OE type threaded stud with the smooth shoulder in the middle & mockup & you only need enough (fine) threads on the outer end of it so the nut fits flush with the end of the threads when tightened (take header gasket into consideration) then trim the excess. You can also get a thin high grade nut for even more gain. Use some gasket cement on the inside (coarse) threads
