what gaskets and hardware do I need for a blower swap. Taking off eaton and replacing with another eaton. Where are you guys buying bolts now that ford ones are getting costly?
Blower swap gaskets/bolts
- Thread starter bssmith1220
- Start date
And I did contact tousley or whatever it's called now and they said people are getting bolts somewhere cheaper these days since ford is high. Just in case someone's advice is to contact them 
I bought gaskets from http://www.levittownfordparts.com/m...-supercharger-installation-gasket-p-1238.html
As far as bolts, I reused all of them.

In that link, they have all the part numbers listed. If you want to source them yourself. (probably find it cheaper but that's a good list of the part #)

I just wrote to Mike at Autonation was just $100 shipped for everything needed PM them.
I did! That's why I made my second post
It was $100 for gaskets and another $130 for bolts. He said people are getting bolts cheaper elsewhere. Trying to figure out where elsewhere is! $230 is salty for odds and ends.
I don't have any guidance other than I don't think I would reuse the bolts. I've seen people struggle with a broken bolt or two when doing this job. I'd want to avoid that in the future.
Yea I don't really want to reuse. just want to know if I can get bolts cheaper than ford.
Why not just go to he hardware store and buy the correct size bolt with a built in washer head? The torque is like 89 inch lbs , very minimal pressure really. As for the gasket I think I found a new ford gasket on eBay the cheapest. Also need the ic gasket
I'm more than happy to do that. I just want to have the stuff ready prior to pulling the blower off. Anyone know the sizes?
Thank you!
Are the intercooler bolts the tty ones?
Fastenall can be your friend. When you know what you are looking for .
I don't remember the size but I went to ace hardware and got stainless steel socket head bolts. I believe it was turbo venom who told me this.
OP, it's an even better deal if you order a tvs, you'll get those bolts for free!
yep mine were included too.
lower manifold to head--M6x1.0x35mm
intercooler to blower M5x.8x16mm
blower to intake M8x1.25x40
qty 10 each, don't forget washers

I just purchased all new bolts for my set up as I removed my Eaton for powder coating. I went with stainless steel Allen head bolts, but this company also has the black oxide bolts. They have everything you need, but it's good quality bolts (like ARP) so, it's not going to be the cheapest either.
However, their customer service and shipping time is great!!! Everything arrives in labeled packages and they send out a goody bag with stickers, pens, magnetic calendars, pocket hand sanitizer, etc. Pretty cool as no one does that anymore.

Keep scrolling past the 03/04 specific stuff and you'll see the 4.6 specific stuff (i.e. tensioner bolts, water pump bolts, etc.).
Here are a couple pics of my new valve cover bolts:
