Head gasket job on 350

Hello, I'm doing a head gasket job on my buddy's trans am. I have a few general questions. I bought some head bolts for my 305 camaro, I compared them to the head bolts that came out of the 350. The bottom ones matched up perfect, but the head bolts that go under the valve cover appear to be about a half inch shorter...

1. Do you think the head bolts will still work even being a little shorter?

2. Does anyone know the torque specs for the head bolts?
