Hey homo, the heads are 5/8, the threads going into the cover/block are 5/16-18, and the studs comming out are 3/8-? but there are various lengths.

mustangsneverdie

cleanfitty

Just to clarify, I was calling the OP a homo..

mustangsneverdie

haha funny lol

cleanfitty

For the bi-curious OP



The longest stud is 5"
The second longest stud is just shy of 4" - but I believe this doesn't have to be a stud as it just goes through a hole in the bracket
The 2 shortest studs are just shy of 2"
The 2 bolts are just shy of 4"
And the shortest bolt is just a hair longer than 2 1/2"

ALMOST STOCK

Hey gay boy, all the info you need about water pump bolts courtsey of 5sp GT


The quickest and easiest way to get the proper timing cover bolts and water pump bolts is to buy two kits from www.totallystainless.com.

Timing Chain Housing Kit for 302 EFI12 pt stainless. Part#6-0847
Water Pump Kit 302 EFI Through '93 12 pt stainless. Part #6-0931

The above are just bolts, no special studs for accessories

TotallyStainless.com does not sell a water pump kit for 94/95 5.0L.

If the prices above are a bit steep you can piece them together with the information below:

AutoZone carries 3 of the odd sizes, which includes 2 studs and one long bolt.

From Helmut Roner for timing cover/water pump bolts for no p/s and no a/c:

Lowes Hardware:

One 5/16 x 5½ inch @ $.47, Item # 55819.
Six 5/16 x 2 inch @ $.16 each, Item # 63319.
Three 5/16 x 4 inch @ $.28 each, Item # 63322
One 5/16 x? inch @ $. , Item # ?????

The last one I typed I don't have, yet. It should be 2-3/4 to 3 inches long. I bought a 2½ and not much of the threads go far enough into the timing cover. It's for the bolt hole that is between the two water ports on the upper left of the water pump. I'll have that info later tomorrow.

The bolts for the water pump pulley to be used without a belt-driven fan are 5/16 x 3/4 24-thread. The two rearmost cover bolts which bolt the cover to the block (not shown) are 5/16 x 3/4 inch. I am scavenging those from an ARP bolt kit that I have which can't be used with late model timing covers. Only a few from the kit could be used as the kit was designed for older model 289/302/351W timing covers.

And that i know of Summit nor anyone else seels a "complete" WP bolt package

Thanks C.D'ers., much help.

Now the top of my timing cover is broken off, so I wont need those three bolts up top. Which bolts were they?
