1997 4.0 70mm double ended exhaust studs

[cal74]

Working a '97 4.0

Had to cut a couple of the studs off and didn't in a million years think it would be impossible to find replacements.

There's 3 or 4 double sided studs on this one with the remaining ones being hardened bolts and I was able to re-use those.

On a previous 2000 4.0 I had used the dorman 54mm ones at advance auto parts, etc. Those a a bit too short.

Cant find a grade 8 metric m8 1.25 in an appropriate length around here and the only options I'm finding for the studs are a 100 bucks or so or coming from China.

Ideas?

Should clarify - Manifold to head(s)

Studs?
On the exhaust manifold?

My 4.0l wouldn't have the clearance for studs, lol, all bolts and a PITA to line back up

Try Dorman 03411, for V8s but it should be the same for 4.0l
