What size Fel-Pro oil pan "Snap Ups"

[WSM29]

I remember I needed a set of these for when I am upgrading my oil pump shaft to an ARP. I have found them in 6 and 8mm. Any ideas on the right size for the 5.0?

Thanks

Pan bolts down the sides are 1/4". 6mm is close to 1/4. 8mm is close to 5/16". Depends on the "grip range" I'd guess....

I'm considering using studs, versus bolts, next time I drop the pan. Much easier to get the darn Felpro gasket lined up, I think.

not sure on the size but i just did my gasket a couple months back with a fel pro perma seal gasket ( nice reusable and crush proof gasket) and it came with them!

Don't they come with the gasket? I used the felpro part # found on here and it included both the gasket and the snap-ups. By the way, these things are awesome!

Last time I did this I bought a Ford Motorsports gasket, that didn't come with the pins to hold it up. I used some 4" zipties in the corners, then cut them once I got a few bolts started. It worked out almost easier than the pins.

Sure is...I've assembled a number of engines with studs for the oil pan.

I have the nice Fel-Pro Re-usable gasket. I just remember not being able to find the snap ups last time I looked for them. Zip-ties seem like a pretty good idea as well...

I just pick up a fel-pro for my 74 302, and it came with pins to hold it up. But I'm debating, if I want to use the fel-pro or the canton racing pan gasket. I use the four pc and it leak wright after brake in!!!
