Autoparts stores and hardware stores have them.
It's a standard Autmotive stud with a particular (can't remember which) thread pattern.

Take an old one with you, go to the store, get 4 new onws for the effort. When I put my engine on a stand, I needed A/C studs to bolt it up, and got them at the local "ACE" hardware store.

 

you bought studs from a hardware store and put 'em on your car? I guess it's just the A/C, but still.. I don't go with anything less than Grade 8 when I'm buying stuff for my car.

 

They were specifically Automotive studs. And I know they are plenty strong, as only 2 of them are holding up the entire engine on the engine stand.

 

Thats all I used on my swap were grade 8 bolts

 

anyone know the thread pattern i need?..off hand.....
?

i do not want to try and remove another stud in the block for comparison
