So a bone head move was made while replacing a high pressure oil pump on my 2006 F-350 4x4. The upgraded STC fitting was being installed (alignment was perfect with the tool) and one of the bolts apparently cross threaded and off in the branch tube. I tried to extract the bolt and even drilled it out to install a HELI COIL but no joy. Anyway I need to pull the motor to get the branch tube out and replaced. I know you can do it with the motor installed but it to confined and a pain in the butt. I have no fear and can pull the motor no problem.
I need to know if anybody knows a company that sells an engine installation kit or do I have to buy all the bolts and stuff separately.
What exactly do you mean by "engine installation kit"? About the only parts you're going to need are the rear cover gasket and rear main seal (which requires a Ford/Rotunda seal remover/installer to install), about three or four injector o-ring kits (to enable injector removal and use of the Ford/Rotunda tool that installs in place of the injector to compress the valve springs, to in turn enable rocker arm removal without disturbing cylinder head fasteners), as well as all the fluids drained during the engine removal (coolant, oil, power steering fluid etc.).

Really that's it..... You wouldn't happen to have the part number for these special ford tools would you???
M-chan. You've peaked my interest. That rocker arm removal tool. Is that to remove the rocker arm without removing the head stud/bolt that holds the rocker arm assembly in place?
Mines all apart and I didn't need that tool. Still learning about all these special tools and stuff.

Thanks for the education...
That is correct. In your case, you needed to pull the heads anyway with your issue, so you won't be needing that tool going back together since you will be installing the branch tube back into your block before you have your heads installed and bolted on.
