Go to NAPA and they can get you a box of 25 for what Chevy charges for 4. Theyy are 1/4" rivets so a regular gun will not put them in. I ordered one off ebay for $10 and used rivets instead of bolts. I did my PS about a year ago and the bolts, nuts with lock washers are loose. I will replace the nuts with rivets next weekend.
Just use a 1/4" drill bit and drill through the fiberglass right on top of the rivet and it will come off easy takes about 20 minutes a side. THe new motor should come with nuts and bolts I use loctite and the lock washers both as they have a tendency to back off and become loose. You will end up with three small holes 1/4' but saves a bunch of time and headache, and no harm done. Good luck!
