Default Replacement Bolts
Getting ready to bolt my heads and intake manifold to the engine and I'm a couple of bolts short. Can I go to the local hardware store and get some matching size bolts, or do they have to be specifically for "engine" use?

The heads definately need to be actual "head bolts". I've substituted intake bolts for stainless hardware from the hardware store.
