alternatively = contact ARP for listing - im pretty sure they make a stud to suit a 3sge so in essence should have studs for 3sgte
i would recommend at least getting new standard ones or having ur machinist test the strength of your current ones before putting them back in your motor, especially if more performance work has been done which could potentially increase combustion chambers pressures (ie more boost, more compression, port work, bigger ignition system), as you dont want 'lifting' to occur, even though the pentroof combustion chambers are pretty efficient at dissipating heat from the burn, it is safer to upgrade these things if u can afford to.
cheers

forgot to note that reason for changing is that under extreme pressures or time, the metal will stretch even slightly which will put clearances out - and in a hi perf environment, you dont want clearances out
