just bought a new edelbrock intake with matching throttle body and egr spacer and my old studs may as well be welded into the stock intake. im worried that new studs arent going to come with the throttle body/spacer so where would i buy new ones? i only see them in kits with all the gaskets etc which i dont need. i just want the studs.

You can replace the studs with bolts of the correct length, or just buy some all-thread and cut to length.

Check out ARP for new studs or just use bolts like was suggested, whatever you use put antisize on the threads going into the aluminum.

from what i can find the stock size of the studs were 5/16-18 thread and 4.125 inches long. closest thing i can find on arp is a 4.25 bolt. prolly just gonna buy the kit that has the posts.
