Anyone have their manifold bolts out...

...and can tell me the lengths for which position? Or heck, maybe someone knows them off the top of their head. I've seen that the bolts are 8x1.25 if I need to buy new ones, since I'm pretty sure I'm one short (can only find 11). Plus them being carefully laid out by position got wrecked by the dog getting his nose on the workbench and knockin them to the floor (that'll teach me to leave things close to the edge) to get nicely mixed with a bunch of other bolts later, making a nice sort and some uncertainty, so I thought I'd ask.

I do remember them being 8x1.25 for a 4.0L, so I would assume they would be the same for a 2.9L also. As far as length, I couldn’t tell you. I replaced my manifolds with headers that have a much shorter bolt.

You can guesstimate it by taking one of the manifolds to the hardware store and inserting different sized bolts into the manifold making sure the shank (or shoulder if you will) isn’t protruding out and atleast 1/2" to 3/4" of threads are. This will give you a good start. Also, dont forget to re-tap the threads and use grade 8 bolts.
