1993 351w accessory bracket hardware (Lightning)

long shot on this. I'm rebuilding my 1993 lightning and after a year+ waiting on all the parts I'm missing stuff. Big concern is the missing or rusted bolts/studs for the accessory brackets(p/s and ac bracket and the smog/alt bracket) that bolt to the heads/block. I'm digging deep but have had zero luck. does anyone know if they sell a kit or where i can find any details like bolt size or drawings of this motor so i can buy/order bolts? LMR only has kits for 5.0 mustangs, LMC has nothing and summit has kits for hardware i do not need (plus its luck of the draw speaking with tech help, some help some push you along quick).

Im down to these few bolts to atttach the brackets so i can try to drop my engine and trans in this week to finally get my lightning very close to running after years of waiting.

I've got the front of my 94-5.8 down for some work & have been documenting the hardware.

The front dress is pretty standard & will pass along what I record & you can compare.

Note that these are all flange head bolts. If you go with std head bolts, washers & lock washers are going to be needed.

They are 7/16-14 bolts. Mine measure 6 inches total length with 5.5 inches from the end of the threads to the bottom of the head of the bolt.

I've used a split on top of a flat washer for years when I had no flange style readily to replace lost hardware.
