As mentioned by NEWROADSTER, call them, they should be able to hook you up....
I shot them an email and they sent me a quote which was almost double the cost of the bolts from Summit Racing. An, awesome, longtime member here offered to turn them on a lathe as a favor, so I am g-to-g. Thanks, guys, for the input.

An easy way to gauge it is to pull a bolt out stick a piece of wire in there see how deep the hole is if you got the clearance go for it if not well do what someone else suggested cut the end of the bolt off dress it up make sure to run a chaser on it and there you go

Why not remove one of those bolts and try the longer bolt and see if it fits.
