Does anyone know where to purchase the long engine studs?

Im looking for the cylinder head studs and have done some searching and have only come up with ebay. Would prefer to order elsewhere.

You need (want) all new or just some replacements? I can uncork a few off a spare block.

I was hoping replace all of them but am wondering how necessary it really is. I'm replacing/updating a lot of stuff while I have the engine open.

I don't think they need replacing unless the threads are messed up. As far as strength They hold my 750 kitted engine together just fine.
Just add a few ft./lbs. to the torque value for the nuts on these 8 big studs. 30 ft./lbs. instead of the factory spec of 25 ft./lbs.

Did you put them back in? If so, do you remember what the torque was? I'm putting mine in right now but I can't find the damn torque specs for that.
