There is a 'Yes, but' here.  For one thing, some of the Stude bolts,
such as the water pump and water manifold bolts are odd lengths.  Some
of the water manifold bolts have a long hex with a stud for mounting
accessories.  Are these included?  Are the appropriate lock washers
(either split or  external toothed, depending) included?  

Also be aware that virtually all the original bolts were Grade 5 bolts
(3 slashes).  Virtually all easily available stainless bolts are Grade 4
(2 slashes) and thus require less torque.  Torqueing a Grade 4 stainless
to Grade 5 specs will either twist the bolt or cause it to gall.
Hi-strength stainless bolts are available, but neither cheap nor easy to
find in the size you need at the moment.  Type 304 is the standard
alloy, A286 is the most common high strength alloy. I understand Boeing
Surplus is a good source if you live near there.

Another thought - if using stainless bolts with the battery cables, be
sure and use Type 316 stainless bolts (available from marine hardware
dealers), as Type 304 does suffer corrosion from sulfuric acid.

"There is a 'Yes, but' here.  For one thing, some of the Stude bolts,

 I have found exhaust manifold and oil filter adaptor bolts bottoming out
in blind bolt holes; just at the point where they are tight.  Some lengths
are listed in the parts books to 1/16".  In some cases, length is different
in parts books for older V8's, from what is listed for later.  Sometimes
that's a matter of the intended combination of washers.  It's a good idea to
check by bolting the part on without the gasket, or a washer, to see if the
bolt bottoms out; even if it's the original bolt and washers.
 It's "not hardly", for stainless steel bolts, as far as I'm concerned.
Watch out for rough threads.
