cam thrust plate bolt

I broke a cam thrust plate bolt off in my engine block. I was able to get it out but now I can't find where to get another one. Any suggestions?

Yes he can but may need to clearance it some so it doesnt hit the back of the top sprocket. Otherwise ARP makes them

Ford dealers often stock them, too. As mentioned, they have a reduced head thickness so as to not rub the cam sprocket.
