351m 400

I am putting together a 351M for someone who tore it apart and lost some of the bolts. I am looking for a bolt kit that includes the oil pump bolts.
Does anyone know where to find a good engine bolt kit?

No info on a bolt kit but you can use socket head cap screws for the oil pump. You can get them at hardware stores. FYI, they are stronger than a grade 8 bolt.

There are stainless steel kits available on Ebay. Stainless steel has a higher tensile strength that chrome-moly steel used in Gr. 8 bolts. It also has a tendency to shatter in areas of high vibration.... but a lot of drag racers only use stainless hardware... so results are mixed, but thats about the only way to get a bolt kit. FYI, my Perfect Circle HV oil pump came with new bolts.
