Default need info on crank balancer bolt for 2011 corvette ls3

I recently picked up a used ls3 short block from a 2011 corvette for my foxbody mustang build. I need to figure out what crank balancer bolt I need to buy for it. I tried to put a new ls1 fbody bolt in it just to turn the rotating assembly and the bolt wasn't long enough. I thought they were all the same. Are the vette ls3 bolts longer? Or are some of the Vette ls3 cranks different?

Dry sump LS3's use a longer bolt.

Dry sump LS3 uses the same crank bolt as the LS7.

Do it right and get the ARP bolt for it.

Also, since you have the engine out of the car, pin the crank...easy peasy.
