So I emailed RB because I didn't have time to call them.
No store in Georgia carries the bolts I need. I've checked RB and MazdaTrix but have come up short.
Can anyone tell me where I can get these little bastards?

Straight from the horse's mouth:
Much depends on the bolt you select. If you use a "6Kg/Cm2" (stamped "6" on the head) bolt, 28 ft lb is plenty. If you use an "8", 32 ft lb is OK. Any higher and the cast iron counterweight might start to strip.
As for turbo manifold design, I do not recommend our mild steel flanges for turbo use. They will warp too easily. Use stainless steel (have it plasma or laser cut from 1/2" plate). Keep the runners as short as possible.

Turn it over to the next shank? 
I have access to a 600 ft/lb wrench, so I'm not to worried about it.
If you guys happen to know anybody who works at a truck shop, truck wheels are torqued up to generally 400-450 ft/lbs torque, so you may want to ask to "borrow" their wrench..
