It looks like Fly-wheel bolts for a pontiac have a thin head but they have a shoulder on them. Im wondering if that might be an option. OR Mopar flexplate bolts are 1/2-20 and have a short head. But the thread length is only .500"
You could use a low profile button head screw. That would sit lower than a factory BBC bolt.
