They'd also be available at most any wrecking yard, I'd guess. '96 and later trucks (subs and tahoes, pickups, etc.) with a Vortec 350. And lots of cars and trucks ('87 and later) had center-bolts, too.
1976 Silver/Firethorn. L48, 4spd. Original 2 bolt, vortec heads, 9.4:1 CR, Speed Pro Cam: 224/224@0.050, 112 LSA, Eagle Steel Crank.
VikingVette: the Ace plan worked. $10 bought me (8) 1/4-20 x 3 1/2 stainless bolts and washers. They're just regular hex head, not Allens, but I think they still look pretty good. (they did have allen cap screws, but they didn't have the half inch sizes and they cost 3 times as much).
Middle bolt is original, other two are the new ones:
Pic also demonstrates the use of Calyx exhaust manifold dressing. I'm pretty impressed with that stuff so far, but my camera flash highlighted some areas I missed!
