Hi guys. I am trying to figure out the bolt pattern of the accessory holes on my 97 L31 vortec. I am pretty sure they are metric. If anyone has input I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I'm not sure about the Vortec but, the TBI head is all SAE, the ancillary equipment can be both.

Should be 3/8" x 16. Smaller bolts on the side for the wire looms are 1/4" x 20.

Thank you. Yes you are correct. I chased the threads with a 3/8 tap. What had me confused was the intake bolts holes are metric. Thanks again
