The Ames kit has only 8 bolts and the bend over tabs to make a "12 piece" kit but short some bolts if you have manifolds that take 6 each side-and they are solid.
One interesting thing all the holes other than the center two have large holes that a 7/16" bolt could fit in easily. In fact one of the heads on the 220 HP X7 motor I picked up must have stripped out an end one and tapped for a 7/16" bolt.

I have had more trouble with the hollow bolts breaking off than solid. Maybe I will go with stainless steel.
