Anyone know where I can find these? They are the two long ones that hold the case together and fasten to the oil pan. 5/16-18 thread and 7" long. I have checked all the major Ford restoration parts suppliers and cannot find them. Thanks in advance for your help.

Try a shop that rebuilds generators and starters. What is wrong with the ones in your starter? Tom

In a pinch, to get you started you can buy a length of threaded rod, cut it to a usable length pass it through the starter and hold the starter in place with a couple nuts till you can find the correct bolts. I don't know the grade of the original screws but I'm guessing the threaded rod will be pretty soft in comparison but, will do for a temporary fix..

The person who owned the car before me had started rounding off the hex.
