I am in the middle of reinstalling my engine back in my vette, and for the life of me I can't figure out where these two bolts in the picture below go. Anyone out there got a strong memory who can tell me the location they go in??

They're definitely not boats, not even bolts, but studs and look like exhaust manifold studs to me. You can see where they have been installed somewhere they've gotten very hot.

Definitely not exhaust related. I have had that in and out a few times and know the studs that go with those.
The bottom one looks like the grounding bolt. I fastened the ground wire on my Mild 2 Wild switch to a bolt that looks like that (passenger side of engine bay near the front).
Exhaust manifold studs and of course one has a nut on it.

As previously stated in my initial post, sure looks like exhaust manifold studs to me. And they have been installed in something very hot as indicated by the appearance of the studs.
bottom one looks like one of the nuts for a coil pack. The top one is too long for a ls lt exhaust stud. Looks like something related to mounting an accessory item on the front.

Win! That's what one of them is for! Good looking out. Thanks.

To me, they look like the studs that attach the exhaust pipes (with the cats) to the exhaust manifold outlet.

Bolt location?
