Hey guys I ordered bolts for my base edelbrock performer 5.0 intake to bolt to the heads and my question is when I threaded the bolts in only about 1/4 in maybe 2 threads more actually go into the head, does that sound right?...... And the torque specs are 23-25lbs?

If you can get the bolts threaded in to a length equal to the bolt diameter, then it should hold ok.

Then they should hold ok.
Once you thread a bolt in equal to or slightly over its diameter, then you will have all the strength that bolt can provide.

The next question is, "Is that far enough to provide sufficient clamping force to seal the intake gaskets?"
or....Are they tightening down ok on the intake?

Good. That means there are no obstructions in the bolt holes.
You should be good to go.
Remember to follow the correct sequence and don't overtorque. :good:

after a couple heat cycles if you can get to the bolts it would be a good idea to double check and make sure they are still good
