Main Cap Bolt size

I have been looking for a main cap bolt for an FE engine with the stud to support the rear sump oil pickup. I found the one linked here but it is advertised for a 351 w then says further down that it will also fit FE style engines. Is that the case? Do they really have the same size main bolts?

Off the top of my head I would've said no, but, before I stuck my foot in my mouth (again ), I checked the parts catalog.
The answer is yes, they are the same bolt.
From the catalog, for trucks with a 360.
Bolt, main bearing w/stud
½"-13 X 3/8"-16 X 4 11/16"
P/N D6TZ-6345-A
Last dealer cost $8.14, last list $13.57

The catalog shows the same part number and spec. also fits the 351W in the Econoline van.
I checked and no dealer or obsolete supplier has a NOS part.

Mike, D6TZ-6345-AVMR replaced D6TZ-6345-A & C6TZ-6345-A

1966 F100 352 4WD / 1973/76 F100/250 360 4WD / 1975/91 Econoline 351W

No one has any of these part numbers.

WRONG PART!

Clueless ebay seller listed the part number: C6TZ-6345-C = 1966/74 F100/250 240/300 I-6 4WD; 1975/96 F100/250 300 I-6 4WD

1969/74 Econoline 240/300 I-6 / 1975/91 Econoline 300 I-6.

1966/68 Bronco 289 / 1969/77 Bronco 302 / 1980/96 F150/250 4WD & Bronco 302.

Does NOT fit 1966/76 F100/250 352/360 4WD or 1975/97 Econoline 351W
