I just need the studs for my Edelbrock heads. Mancini sells a kit, but it is not of the highest quality. The hold downs are great but the studs were as straight as home depot lumber. I would dig for an ARP stud # 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

The kicker: set of 10 pcs was $11.69 USD in 2019, I see them listed at Summit for 2x that at $25 today. Take a look at the attached snippet out of their 2016 catalog, showing the 5/16" section...
