Any suggestions for best deal on these? Thanks, Mike

ARP sells shiny stuff and will custom make odd stuff for a price

These guys have some interesting stuff:

and of course there's Totally Stainless

and dont forget the titanium stuff:

I'd suggest stainless bolts, just polish the heads for an everlasting shine, My local Ace Hardware stocks a very good assortment of stainless hardware,
problem with chrome bolts is if you nick the chrome they start rusting and get ugly....

Search EBay for Engine bolt kits. I got a complete set for a small block Chevy for $20 plus shipping. They are good quality stainless steel, I will need to polish them myself. A good winter time project.

Watch Out! Most stainless fasteners are not a very strong grade. The typical stainless fastener is not even grade 5 so be very careful when choosing a fastener.....see the explanation at the Totally Stainless web site listed above. The standard stainless stuff breaks easily.....I twisted two off last week myself!
If you cant determine the grade, it probably isnt strong.
