Default Crankshaft pulley bolts

So i decided to do my crankshaft pulley. I purchased the Steeda pulley kit. When I went to take the bolt out of the pulley, it was hand tight and was able to just spin it out with my hand. For some reason, the bolt that I got with the kit was actually shorter than my 'stock' bolt, which leads me to believe that my 'stock' bolt isn't actually stock. Then sure enough, I screwed my threads up pretty bad on both of the bolts and can't really tell if the threads on the inside are messed up or not. Don't really know my options, so I would REALLY appreciate it if some of you guys would give me some advise. Like the dimensions/size of the stock bolt and where I would be able to purchase it at, and if my threads are screwed on the inside, what i should do next.

Thanks for anyone's help i get.

Well, if you screwed the threads up bad enough on the inside, you're looking at a new crankshaft.

How did you screw the threads up? You should have realized you cross threaded them pretty quickly.

With a steel crankshaft, and a mechanically skilled person, it shouldnt be too much of a problem tapping new threads in. I dont know the dimensions of the steeda pulley but if its close in thickness (amount of crank bolt it takes up) to the stocker, just go to the ford dealership and get a new one.
