I'm pretty sure Ford sells them.

Just need a rough idea of year, make, and model they came off of.

those heads are a paper weight without the origanal caps. those caps are line bored and are perfectly matched to the head. even if you get caps off another set.it wouldn't work the cam may be to tight or loose in the head. sorry dude but there not gonna be worth much without the caps.

This is true.

Same goes for main caps on the lower end.

Id be asking for a refund.
