Everything bolted to the engine is a standard, course threaded bolt (with the exception of the torque converter)...

Since you have to replace a bolt that only bolts the dipstick and coil, I don't think you need a very long one, though if you get it too long you can hacksaw/grind off as much as you need, just be sure to clean up the threads.

My guess is that is a 5/16" or 3/8" course threaded bolt that is 3/4" to 1" long....
