im missing a bolt out of each engine mount, the bolts that go into the motor itself. is there anywhere i can buy these individually?

Yes you can, just go to Coventry's and ask for another one. Its easier if you know exactly what size bolt you are after.
Or you could try a reputable tool shop, they normally have plenty.
Or you could try a Wreckers, now they would have plenty
does anyone know what type of bolt they are exactly? its for a 5 litre VR

Go to a bolts shop or something like dandy fasteners i'm sure there's one around your area . Finding out length and thread pitch and size is your next problem. You drive there take one out and show them then put them back in your car

Have to be careful though, as Holden V8's run 2 different size engine mount bolts. 2 are 14mm head and 1 is 16mm head....Make sure you get the right one!
Holdens should be able to look it up on the computer and possibly order them in. I recently got 2 main bearing cap bolts from them....cost like $1.50 each. The program they use pretty much shows an exploded view of every part and most times it shows a part number for every nut and bolt. You could get unlucky tho and they won't be able to get them....but yeah no harm in trying.

I checked a couple of threads out today at work on some built motors they are 3/8 unc x 20mm deep these are the top 2 on the block, as TIm said there's 2 types so im guessing the bottom one is the larger but they'd all be 3/8 unc thread

*slaps forehead* Stocky bolts come from bolt shops or engineering shops not hardware stores, not unless you want a cheap as galvinised bolt to hold your rose arch up. Holden will definatly have some too
nope holden dont make them anymore
