They're called pressure plate bolts - what engine and transmission are you working with?

Edit Sorry wrong answer.
That part number is for the flywheel bolts to crankshaft flange.

Let me try to find it on my CD... BRB, I hope



They are called "place bolts"
The head is undercut and acts like a Bellville spring to keep the tension even under shock loads.
They're same for almost all ford V8's
Try F1ZZ*6379*A for 6 pieces.

Call up Green Sales Company - 800-543-495 - (they have 83 of them) and give them this part number:

355705-S BOLT - PRESSURE TO FLYWHEEL - 3/8-16 X 31/32
Fits 1980/89 (the only years this catalog covers) F100/350 V8 302 & 351
Section 71 Pg 15

Also takes a lockwasher 34807-S but I don't think they (or anybody else) have those, I'd go to a hardware store.

I wouldn't.

They're basically Shoulder Bolts and look something like this:




I lost one once during a clutch replacement job, I think it fell in a crack in the concrete. Ford dealers weren't any help, got some from a local machine shop or some such.

Yes, I understand that.
I knew the flywheel bolt number by heart but needed to look at the Hi-Po parts CD for the right number for the early shouldered bolts.

Both my phone (which I posted from) and my netbook don't have an optical drive.
So... I needed to clear off and fire up the old desktop PC.
Then IT didn't want to stay connected to my wireless router.
Chris got you the number. Thanks Chris!

On my 347 stroker smallblock we used ARP 250-2201 12 point bolts.
They weren't expensive IIRC but I don't know if you have a performance store near you.
Sorry to hijack your thread.
