yes I know ,,,here is something really funny ,I just ordered the rear end cover bolts that are used with this Boss cover from Ford ,cost me $ 100.00 ,for 10 of them ,they are longer than the stock ones ,so by the time I'm done with this little Mod ,I'll have just over $ 300.00 dollars in everthing ,,the cover ,bolts ,Royal Pupple Max-Grear synthetic oil,( SAE 75W-140 ),$ 18.00 a quart ,,and Ford friction Modifier,$ 6.00 at Ford dealership 4fl oz bottle .but it should last for many miles and years to come,,but most important ,it will be alot better than it is stock now.

im pretty sure RP gear oil has frict mod in it.

to hell with $100 in factory bolts. could have ordered ARP stainless bolts or studs for less.

hard ware store. its a NON-load bearing bolt. grade 5 would be more than enough. or stainless cap screws
