Sorry about the break in!!!! It makes life tough having people around like that!!!

Well, if the parts guy at your Ford dealer is a nice guy he can look them up. I was in mine a few days ago and a guy comes in looking for intake bolts for a big block, guy looks them up and orders them.

But, I think I would go to my local yard and pull them. The trans won't fall out and you will know you got the right ones. My go to yard doesn't charge for bolts.
