However, they are 2 inches long and the different thickness of the single mass flywheel v. the original dual mass flywheel, from what I could gather, confirms need for new, shorter bolts.

The original bolts for the Dual Mass Flywheel can be re-used for the same application, BUT not with the Fidanza alum flywheel, they are too long.

I don't know anything about the ARP "torque converter" set of ARP bolts. We buy our ARP flywheel bolts in bulk from ARP, as per our size specification. They are packaged by us in sets of 8 bolts & washers. They may be used as "torque converter" bolts but that's not how we specify & buy from ARP.
