Default Starter Bolts

This might be a stupid question but does anybody know where to get the OEM type starter bolts for an 87 4.9 auto?

Thanks

if your wanting the stock style 12 point bolts good luck.
any parts store witll sell replacements but 90% chance they will be a 6 point bolt.

When I broke my starter bolts on my 92 351 I just replaced them with grade 8 six points from ace. A bolt is a bolt. Whatever works

Thanks for everyone responses. I found out I had more problems than just the bolts. Took out the trans and working on getting everything lined up.
