Default need help finding head bolts for my '87 I6

will the head bolts from a '96 or newer 4.0 work on my '87 (Jeep in the signature below). I'm replacing the head gasket and the head's currently at the shop being resurfaced and having the valves and valve seats machined. I can't find any head bolts for the '87 except from the dealership, and they want $35 a bolt, lol. I've found a set locally for a '96+, will that work?

The heads are different, but I'm not sure if the length of the head bolts changed or not.
