Default Need help with trans bolts

Where do i get some bell housing bolts that don't cost an arm and a leg... I went to gm and they wanted close to ten bucks a piece for bell housing bolts. Also I went to put a energy suspension mount on my t56 trans, but the supplied bolts where the wrong size threads. Whats the size on the bolts? I dont have the originals since i bought this trans. Thanks for any help

I just removed the Keisler and found rusted bellhousing bolts (barely 1 year old/never seen rain). They are also allen heads, which pretty much nullify me being able to remove the bolts, once the trans is in the car.
Went to Home Depot for standard head grade 8's. They're also stainless!
