upper intake boltzs.
i am working on a 88 f150 302 and have lost the upper intake bolts. the shop manual doesn't have anything about the upper intake just the lower. the only thing i can think of is going to a wrecking yard 80 miles away to try to get the bolts. the most difficult one will be the torque bolt stuck in the middle. i had them all in a box and someone desided to organize and clean up my area. thanks who ever that was.
Now your space is so clean, you can actually do some work.

I probably have those bolts in my toolbox and the torx ones too
They are usually laying on the ground or under the hood at the junkyard
I travel 35-70 miles to visit the junkyards I need to
Ford parts should be able to give you part numbers for the bolts and you could then search Ebay for the bolts
I would just take the road trip and get the bolts at the junkyard

I thought it was just me. I had never had a starter bolt snap in all the years of wrenching on Mopars until I went to change my first Ford starter in an E4OD. Lot of fun fixing that.

When I replaced my coolant pump on my 95 5.8l, I had more bolts seize on that job than 20 years of working on German cars. I used all my trick and only had one actually break. I was able to drill it out and save a lot of work. I do believe, most bolts that break/strip are because people do not know when to say when. The #1 rule for me is never ever strip the head. Once you do, it gets really bad. Experience lets you know when something will start to strip/break. Lots of tools to prevent that. You don't know when it will be a problem without hundreds of thousand of bolts/nuts that were removed.
No, you are not the only one who thinks the metal is bad.
