I'm assembling the 5.0 for my '99 and ran into a snag. A couple of the lower intake bolts broke, and it's proven hard to locate replacements. One is easy, it's a pretty standard bolt. The other is in this picture:


It's the one with a nut in the middle. Any idea where I can get this without ordering a complete set? I'd really like to get a couple of them, preferably in stainless.

Junkyard.

Seems like i broke one off like that one time and used a waterpump to pulley stud (its been years), and just added a nut.

No help with stainless though

None of the ARP kits I've found so far seem to have the correct bolts. All the one's I've seen have only the short bolts, but not the ones with a nut midway that allows bolting on ground straps, etc.

My '87 Crown Vic engine had two for the heater coolant pipe that ran to the back of the engine. I think Explorers and trucks had the same kind of a thing... so that would catch 3/4+ of the 302's in the yards around me.

7 years later I have no idea where mine ended up, I just have the standard head SS ARP kit.

That kit you have pictured is of an ARP kit, maybe call and see if they have anything on their end. Maybe they can piece it out or have a comparable bolt in some other kit in stainless

Go to lmr.com they will have it. All the bolts are made by arp and come packaged separately so you may be able to get just the one bolt you need.
