bolting the motor to the engine stand

ddarkslayer · September 14th, 2011, 12:28 AM

so I'm trying to prepare to pull my motor and I just want to know what size of bolt and how long should I get for it. I know they need to be high quality grade 8 bolts.

7/16 - 14 in the length enough to go 1/2-3/4 inch into the block throught the stand...

honestly I usually just use my bell housing bolts.
it's always worked fine for me

okay so are they fine thread or course?

Short answer. Course
Long answer. The "14" in the spec MMatt gave is the threads per inch of the bolt. 14 TPI on a 7/16 bolt meets the standard definition of course.
