Default gt40 upper intake bolt length?

Does anyone know if all the bolts that connect the upper intake to the lower intake are the same lenghth or not?
I took off my gt40 intake and there were 6 bolts. of course the 2 long ones that are in the middle...but out of the rest of the 4 2in or so bolts, 1 of them is like a 1/2 in shorter. just wondering if the one bolt is meant to be shorter or if all 4 of those should be the same length?

I think they are different if I remember correctly, or else I have just replaced too many broken bolts to re-use the old ones. Either way I swapped mine out, cheap insurance......
