Take one of the originals to a Nut and Bolt Supplier, and they will be able to supply replacements, of the correct tensile grade which will do the purpose.

Getting the originals as replacements is more specific if they are the "Torque-to-yield" types as used in newer engines.

Chy59, Are you looking for cylinder head bolts that attach the heads to the engine block? Or, Are you looking for exhaust manifold bolts? Either way, Bruce R had the correct answer for you, Go to a "nut & bolt supply with a sample of what you need and get some replacements. (Head bolts are about 1/2"across and about 4-5" long. That year Cadillac would have head bolts with SAE threads. As for manifold bolts with nuts the use of bolts & nuts with metric threads would be ok. as long as they were the same size.
Good Luck,Jim
