Lower Intake Manifold bolts

[LuckyBstard]

I am looking for a complete set of new OEM intake bolts for the 2001 Explorer 5.0L. Most of the bolts are okay, but a few are not reusable and it seems me that replacing all of them would be a better way to go. I google searched and haven't found them for my year 5.0L. Plenty for other generations though. I am finding this to be somewhat of a stigma. Why is there such a problem with these bolts corroding away and why are the parts not readily available, I don't understand it. I looked through the parts diagrams on the Ford parts site and am not able to enlarge the photo enough to see if the bolts with corresponding numbers are the correct bolts I need. I found three different lengths in the bolts I have so I would assume I am looking for three different part numbers. But if anyone has the part numbers for the lower intake bolts, I'd greatly appreciate it.

the 5.0 engine is pretty common and has lots of aftermarket support, I know you said you wanted OEM but you can't go wrong with ARP bolts $45 for these bolts doesnt seem bad to me

ARP bolts are way superior to OE. Summit Racing is a good place to find them, though I'm sure you can also find them on eBay.
