Default Busted Studs on Ignition Coils

I changed my plugs today. I dont know when they were lasted changed, but It was probably long ago. The nuts keeping the ignition coil bolted in place were pretty corroded and rusty. I sprayed the heck out of them with PB blaster, 5 of 8 came off no problem. I had 3 studs snap off while I was using my ratchet to remove them. Can those studs be replaced? It looks like its a combination bolt for the manifold and a stud for the ignition coil. Anyone have a part number?

Thanks

I am assuming that this is a 4.7L?

You're lucky then-- the Hemi's 16 plugs can be a pain in the A$$! next time I'll pay someone to do mine!
