Bottom or base studs, 86.0 mm center to center on my 1974.
Top or head studs, 62.5 mm.
Why do you need to know??

Barrels are approx. 106.10 mm from base to top, plus approx. 25.4 mm of the cylinder sleeve protruding below. Total sleeve length, from head gasket surface to bottom is approx. 131.5 mm.. Standard bore/stroke is 61 X 62 mm for a GT550.
Top of piston crown to center of piston pin approx. 36.5 mm.
Are you looking for a set of stock barrels for a GT550??
