I looked and can not confirm
Can I use my stock HO bolts for use with the explorers intake lower?
I apparently didn't have enough explorer bolts when I went to install it.
And the studs go into the throttle body right

Correct. but he showed pics of the upper bolts as well, so wasn't sure if he was including those in his question as well

All good my friend. Good advice all around. I would add he might consider a small spacer , as it will aid in both HP and VC clearance. A 1/2 inch spacer should clear a stock hood. Obviously it will require longer upper bolts.

I'm picking up these. So a spacer will add hp too?
I doubt these the bolts with that kit will work but I'm guessing it does
These valve covers look like for efi right? And how would I install a filler neck to it? Thanks guys

Also I haven't put a bolt in it. But without. The intake barely clears the hood it seems. So now I need a cowl hood

LOL,, looks like you already have a 1" spacer... hence the hood clearance issue. Those VC look like carb ones. No Baffle plate and no provision for the tube to the throtthle body.
