I'll probably use 9/16-12 Grade 8 bolts on the inner holes, and drill and tap the block for 7/16-14 Grade 8 outer bolts. Studs are OK if the block area where the threads are located is pretty beefy, but that's not the case on a stovebolt engine. It's also necessary for the cap and lower bearing shell to self-align with the crank as the bolts are torqued, since a stovebolt does not use alignment dowels or a stepped block to positively locate the cap.
