You can buy ARP bolts in the correct length -most any length-but under head they are slightly smaller OD than the factory bolts so there is the potential the cap could move. i have heard some guys machining the caps for shouldered washers from ARP to do that.

If you’re running only two bolt caps and have the stock bolts just reuse them if they have no rust on the threads.
The stock bolts are far stronger than the stock iron caps are, (even the factory Armasteel 4 bolt caps) The caps will go south first. Even if you where able to get new stronger bolts or use studs the line bore would need to get check to see if a line hone job is needed because stronger fasteners will pull on the main webs differently.

He’s looking for main cap bolts not head bolts.
