5.0 HO engine plaque screws

[Zero_chance]

Not the most technical thread Ive ever started but does anyone know the bolt/screw thread pattern and size for the intake plaque? I took it off a while ago and lost the screws in my last move so now its sitting in my toolbox and Id rather have it on the intake. Ive looked for a place that might sell them but no luck.

also what to do if i cannot get 1 screw out, it is stripped in there =(

HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO REPLACE THOSE RUSTED STOCK PAIN IN THE A** TOREX SCREWS

These are new stainless steel screws to replace the ford factory screws. they have a phillips head and will put the finishing touch on your intake plate. will not rust or corrode.

Will fit all 86-95 stock ford intakes and ford explorer intakes to year 2000

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

Not me....just about to order some from them. Knucklehead that owned my car before lost one.

Neverseize them upon reinstallation.
Blakthorn (or Blakthrone as I just fumbled it. . That was not intentional), depending upon how it stripped, you might be able to go up one size in bits and see if you can get it to bite.

I suppose worst case is to cut or cold chisel a line into it and use an impact driver with a flat bit.

Good luck.

They corrode together due to galvanic action (aluminum in contact with steel screw) - might as well be welded if you don't catch them in time.
