I found the correct 7/16 carriage bolts for the front engine mount on Amazon. They were zinc (or maybe cadmium) plated. Unless you want to drill them for cotter pins, I would use Nyloc nuts on them (or another prevailing torque style nut.) 7/16-14 is coarse thread and 7/16-20 is fine thread. Either will work, but fine nuts are probably harder to find, as 7/16 is a fairly uncommon bolt size.
What's interesting is that the 1929-1954 Parts catalog doesn't even list 7/16 carriage bolts, but does list 7/16 nuts in all types (including the castellated lock nuts) in both coarse and fine thread.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
