Default HELP! QUICK!

Replacing the head gaskets on a 5.0 302 and I always like to replace the cyclinder head screws! Now I am in a pinch because I don't have new ones, and no one in MD seems to have them. Do I really need to change the bolts. I know these bolts ARE NOT tourqe to yeild so I THINK I'm okay, But to other people with some opinions...

Does any one in MD have some NEW HEAD BOLTS?? ARP, OEM anything? Cell # 2409979954
