Trick Flow Upper Intake T/B Bolts (4)

[BLK3DGT]

I'm changing the throttle body and spacer from my old stock Ford 5.0 upper intake manifold onto my new Tric Flow upper intake. The four studs that hold the throttle body and spacer from the stock unit are in bad condition from anti-freeze. Is the thread size the same on the Trick Flow as on the stock one. The bolts after I wired brushed them don't go in smoothly. I just want to make sure that there are not metric. Does ARP make a stud kit for this manifold? I have to order new lower intake bolts anyway and I can just add this to the order.
I'm installing the 70mm Accufab T/B with the stainless spacer. It looks real nice on the black Trick Flow manifold.
Thanks for your assistance!!:SNSign:

Took upper intake to local garage today and ran a 5/16" tap through the four bolt holes and they cleaned up real nice. Just had a little burr in there I guess.
Everything bolts up real nice now. Thanks

it uses a standard thread. 5/16 i think. -18 or -24 thread i forget. i just went to the hardware store and got a piece of all thread and made my own studs.

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks Jerry, I'll see if I can get a threaded rod tomorrow at the hardware store or machine shop. That will work just fine.
I am just finishing up the AOD swap to T-5 and overhauling the engine at the same time. Big project and Big BUCKS!!
Will all be worth it, when I fire this bad boy up!!
Thanks again,
