have fun with that whole adventure....took me 3 months to find the TWELVE bolts i needed. too bad none of the bolts i needed were the bolts you are looking for. call APR bolts, check jegs, summitracing, ford dealership... the valve cover bolts are easy, just find a buddy with a 5.0 , and yank one off real quick, id do it myself, but honestly....dont feel like it right now

When I was doing my lower control arms, I looked up all the bolts I would need (since you're not supposed to re-use some of them) and went to the Ford dealership. I was talking to the parts guy, and he told me:

  • Their techs just re-use the same bolts when doing control arms
  • I was going to end up with $100+ just in bolts
  • And I was nuts if I was going to spend that $100+.
The Ford dealership may not be your best bet.
