M Code 440

[408 swinger]

I did a quick search and didn't find my answers. First off, what would be the intake manifold bolts? Just like a typical 440 of same vintage, but, did they all have the "TR" marking? Second, the valve cover bolts. I know in some years they used a short stud with a nut in the lower corners. Maybe that was early 60's? Were they all the normal bolts for 69? Getting down to the finer points on this engine and want it correct as possible. Thanks for any and all help!!

My 69 440 coronet has studs and nuts in the outer corners of valve covers.
Yes standard intake bolts just like every other 1969 440. Same 2806178 intake.

All of the big block motors would have used the same hardware.

Appreciate the replies. I finally found a pic of a restored M code engine and i can see the lower valve cover corners using the stud/nut combo. I know that the big blocks in general used the same hardware. I was wondering about the markings in particular. This vehicle isn't going to be an OEM Gold type of build. Just trying to get my part (building/detailing engine) as correct as possible.
