Engine to Engine Stand Bolt size?

87StangGT · January 2nd, 2010, 09:07 PM

dumb question what size bolts do i use to attach engine to engine stand.
I read a bunch of post saying to use grade 5 bolts but on each post it said different sizes. Want to get the correct ones before pulling it out.

the the bolts from the bell housing long enough? just use those.. if not just take those to the hard ware and get the right pitch bolt just longer.

I believe they are 7/16.

I just used the bolts from the tranny and the motor mounts if you got them they will work for it.

some engine stands you cant because the mounts are thicker. At least thats how all of ours at the shop are

87StangGT · January 2nd, 2010, 10:17 PM

yea my mounts on the stand are about two inches thick swo in think i need longer bolts. 7/16 is the size? So garde 5 7/16 bolts about 3 inches long should work? first time pulling this thing out so just want to make sure i got everything right.
