GM dealer, I mean at least you know you are getting the right thing but you will pay for it.

Or just any junk yard near you!!!

For something like that, GM bolts, they shouldn't be too much.

Also call around to different dealerships, they'll have different prices.

For my headbolts, one charged 7 bucks each, another charged 4 bucks.

You can try Mcmaster-Carr also. BTW some ACE hardware stores dont have metric bolts.

You can try a John Deer tractor type place for I heard you can find grade 10 bolts there for a pretty good price. Haven't actually went to one of those places before to check on it though and I don't know if they would have metric ones either. Sorry that I'm not that much of help but I figured I'd throw it out there just in case it would help.

I just reamed out the hole in the engine mount with a drill and used 1/2 inch bolts.
Doesn't take much reaming.
