anyone know what size the thrust plate bolts are?

If you're talking about the cam thrust plate bolts they are 1/4 x 20 and 5/8inches long.
I don't know if you know this or not but you can't just use any 1/4 x 20 bolts. They are grade 8 and have a special machined head.

Don't forget to mount the thrust plate in the correct position unless you have the "idiot proof" type with the grooves on both sides.

I know what you mean. Summit Racing is the same way. They have have a lot more parts than what the catalog shows.
That's how I bought my cam. I went to Comp Cams website, found the cam I wanted and entered the part # in the Summit racing website and got it that way otherwise, you would never know they had it.
I've also been finding out that it's cheaper to order from Summit then direct from the company. (in most cases).
