bellhousing to block hardware question

Does anyone know the length,size,pitch of the hardware that attaches the bellhousing to the block, after many times of pulling it I have mismatched sizes and such. I just wanna get new hardware to make it all the same..

The Bellhousing to block bolts are all SAE 7/16-14.
The top two are 1 7/8" long and the other 4 are 2 1/4" long.

An engine designed in the 60s using metric bolts? Absolutely not.
