Anyone make complete engine fastener kit?

I'm overhualing an 87 F250 with rebuilt 91 302 HO longblock out of a Mustang and need all new engine fasteners.

I don't need chrome, or stuff for a mustang, it needs to be truck specific since the intake differs, etc.

I had 3 bolts so corroded that they broke off in the old block, and lots of others are rusty.

Thanks.
John

I'll keep searching I suppose.

I'd hoped someone here that had overhualed one of these ol' beaters would have replaced the fasteners and known where to get some online.

For an inexpensive set of stainless exterior fasteners (timing case, fuel & water pump, manifolds, valve covers etc...) I went to Bolt Locker on Ebay and was impressed by their prices and quick shipping.
No more rust and heads so corroded you can't get a wrench on them...

John,

Just go to Tractor Supply and buy a bagful of 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8" bolts by the pound. Much cheaper and work just as well holding the external parts on...
