96 351W lower intake bolts?????
Anyone know where to find the 2 studs for lower intake? Or a whole bolt set? I can't find them anywhere...My "B"'s broke in the heads

You could try to salvage some from a junk motor.
Have you tried Fordparts .com ?
I didn't see them listed, but, let's say that you downloaded a schematic for a lower intake manifold that is listed.
You could probably find a part number reference to the bolts that you're looking for. After that ... try dropping them an e-mail so see if the Ford parts specialists could scare them up for you.

FWIW - I had the FWD two bolts on my 91 break off in the heads when I removed the lower intake - the long studs were also badly corroded. I researched but they have long since been discontinued - from Ford.
Just fabricate an equivalent using grade 8 all thread - I purchased locally but it can be had on-line:

Just make a long stud and a spacer from a small piece of tubing - you will have to open up the holes in the coil mount bracket but it all goes together pretty easy. Thread stud in head - drop lower intake on - torque up in sequence using washer and nut then drop tubing over stud along with a washer to mount the coil bracket. - you will have to open up the holes in the coil mount bracket but it all goes together pretty easy.
Another option would be to fabricat a new coil bracket that didn't require the studs.
In the center of the picture below right next to the coil wire you will notice a red dot - that is the end of the all thread rod I used. you might also notice I used carb studs,with fine thread steel-lock nuts for the upper pleneum.
