Head Bolts and Exhaust Manifold Studs

Charrlie_S said

On a stock engine, it is not neccessary to spend that kind of money on special head bolts. I use stock head bolts on most of my race slants.

Its not a lot of money if the guy has a head to bolt on an engine and no head bolts. Is there a source for stock head bolts? I built a 318 that was missing a head bolt or two, I bought ARP bolts. If the OP has the head bolts, I agree, reuse them, but that may not be the case. Cost is relative, what may be a lot of $$ to some nay not be to all and when moving a project along the more you spend the faster the progress is.
