ace or twm induction.. TWM has these really cool 8x125 prevailing torque nuts that use a 10mm socket instead of 13mm!! I'm not sure but I think they might be titanium.. I use them on my motorcycle head studs and my vw intake mani's as it's almost impossible to put a regular sized wrench/socket on big dual port mani's.. Other than that, ARP is another good source.

If you match the thread pitch and diameter but can't find the exact length, get longer ones.. put a nut on the long side of the stud down to the hilt.. then grind off the excess length of stud carefully.. round off and debur the threaded end with a file or deft grinder work then unscrew the nut to clean the thread ends.
