Default Hook a brotha up

So let me tell you how I need a motor mount bolt (holds mount to the block) and they are on backorder from Ford and they cant tell me when they will get them in. I can use either the studded one or non studded I don't give a ****. Does anyone have one sittin in their garage somewhere from a previous build or something? This one bolt is keeping me from putting the engine in the car.

is it not something you can find at lows or a hardware store? wish I could help u bro. If they "dont know when they will get any more" that means they are not planning on having htem any time soon, lol. Try a ford shop next town over or something, have them ship it?

I would try another Ford dealer as well. Or hell go to Lows and buy one unless it's a specialty type of bolt like 0949er said. (I don't know...I haven't looked at mine and what they look like)

Edit: or a junkyard.

if you know the size of the bolt you should be able to get one at a local hardware shop, just make sure its not ****ty

They checked the system and no dealer in the area has them. I assumed the bolts were special, like heat treated or something so the ones in the hardware store would not suffice. It doesn't help that they are metric and probably 10.9 grade and no hardware ever seems to have a good selection of metric, let alone 10.9 grade. I could always go to a junkyard but trying to get one off a junkyard car might be a big PITA

Its really tough to find a 96 + gt in the junkyard especially with the motor still in it, I've seen two in my whole junkyard career and thats because some demonic human being traded them in cash for clunkers.... im not sure if the v6 motor mount bolts are the same or not.
