Anyone have a source for these 4 lower intake bolts (I broke one removing the manifold)? There the ones on the 4 corners. I haven’t been able to source an OEM replacement. Thank you.

I'm not 100% sure on the size, but here's a site that offers something similar at least.

4?
The replacement kits only have 1 stud... the rest are bolts.

Buy 4 kits..... 
But seriously, I went with the ARP bolt kit, the only studded bolts mine had (that I remember) was for the heater tube

I want to buy 4. I have 5; one for the heater tube, two up front to support accessory drives, and two in the rear that I’m using to support wiring and vacuum tubes routed in the rear. I broke the one in the rear, and the other one is eaten-up by the cooling system. The two up Front didn’t cleanup well, so I want to replace those 4 corners.
On a different note, I was just cleaning up the lower intake so I can prime and paint it, and I discovered that the right rear corner water outlet that had a plug in. It has eaten through the side of the intake and there is a hole there now. So I’m also in the market for a lower intake if anyone happens to have one. I’ve updated the thread title to add the lower intake need. Thanks again.

Should be able to get the studs from an auto parts store.
The threads that go into the heads are 5/16-18 and the stud need to be 2-1/2” long. Typically the threads and nuts on to top are 5/16-24 or at least the ones on my cars are.
Search the following:
Double End Stud 5/16-18 X 5/16-24 X 2-1/2”
They are typically called out as an “automotive stud” or “manifold stud”.

I did a little searching, that site has been the only one I've been able to find so far. I found that they offer that style in both black oxide and yellow zinc. Pricing is the same.
I didn't follow the links above, but it looks like they may offer different specialty fasteners if you need them.
Hell, I may buy some myself! I could use something like these for the coolant tube I installed in the Cobra, maybe have a couple more on the opposite side of the engine to be able to secure wiring, then my GT may need replacements when I work on that....
The wheels are turning!

Thank you, exactly what I couldn’t find. Anyone have a lower intake in your way
Not yet - But I figure you don't want to wait on me.
Yea, these studs have the same thread top and bottom. I think I’ll try and find just studs. Thanks.
Well, those O’Riley parts didn’t work. So, I acquired this stainless steel all thread and made my parts from that. I’m sure it will last longer than the plain carbon steel bolts that were there for almost 40 years.
