4.6 L 2V Engine Hardware

I am mid rebuild after losing a head gasket and have been looking for head bolts, rod bolts, and crank bearing cap bolts. ARP has stud kits that are ungodly expensive $600-700 and my local auto parts store is having a hard time finding aftermarket hardware. Is anyone aware of a good hardware source other then OEM parts?

I assume you are rebuilding to stock? If so (this is not a popular idea with a few here) and most parts suppliers as well as dealers (guess why) however if this is the first time the engine has been apart you can reuse all the bolts you listed. I have done it many many times with never one issue. I have reused the same bolts actually more than a two times and never have seen a failure. My own truck has reused head bolts in it right now with many miles on it. I'm not even going to tell you how many times the bolt suppier told us they could be reused you would think they were nuts. Obviously the call is yours. Good luck
