Does anyone know where to get head bolts for a 134 gas engine on a ford 640 that dont cost an arm and a leg? The only ones I've been able to find are $30 plus per bolt which seems way high.

Why do you want new bolts? The original bolts are fine to use as they are not torque to yield.

I'm not sure if they are torque to yield or not. This is the first engine I've torn down and I want to make sure everything is done right.

I re-used the Ford 134 head bolts on the NAA engine I worked on with no problems.

Here's a thread on the same subject. They are not torque to yield. If yours are in reasonable shape clean up and reuse.

I understand that occasionally head bolts need replaced. An older gas tractor engine like that I consider the head bolts reusable. If you are replacing them all in my opinion you would need to be having a problem with the head not sealing after a recent gasket replacement. A quick search showed the basic price range you are showing. The other option is a salvage bolt.

If they are not rust pitted or damaged, reuse them.
DO NOT run a die over the threads, instead polish them up with a wire brush.
DO carefully run a hand tap through all the block holes.
