Default bolt placement on water pump

Does anyone know specifically what length bolts go in what holes? This is on a 2005 5.7l

When you go to put them back in, you will fins the long ones will be too long for the short holes and the short ones wont catch the threads in the long holes. No need to make it more complicated than that.

I know this thread is old but figured I'd upload this picture I created to help people in the future know which bolt size goes in which location.
This is on a 2004 Dodge Ram Hemi.
The numbers are the under-head bolt lengths in millimeters (as best as I could measure them).

Great picture Turbo Hemi Ram, I just replaced my water pump yesterday. This picture would have helped big time if I didn't keep track of the bolts. The best tip for anyone who is looking to replace their water pump or anything really is to remove one bolt at a time and place in the correct location on the new pump. Then swap them over once the old pump is out of the way.
