Head Bolt Sets

With my engine refresh I am going to certainly replace my engine's head bolts...its a 1951 - 239cid V8 - 8BA.
Could someone please advise the best place to purchase new bolts.
I live in Ontario Canada and it would appear that the US is the only place to purchase them.
Thank You

Speedway Motors is one source for flathead head bolts and other engine hardware. Great service and good reputation. I am sure there are other suppliers.

hope this helps,

Tom

The auction below is by a respected Ford Barn member/vendor, I would go with them or find a good used set in Canada. I may know a source in Saskatchewan for used bolts, I can ask.
