Bolts for Engine Stand

[dbdragracing]

Just bought another 302 to turn into a 331 for my 1989 GT. Im going to get it using a engine stand, but I have no bolts to mount it to the stand. I need to know what size bolts to get. Thanks for any help.

If I'm not mistaken, they're 7/16-14. They're the same size as your bellhousing to block bolts.

7/16" is correct, depending on your engine stand, you may be able to use a few headbolts if you have them laying around.

Your head bolts and possibly some washer will work just fine, it all depends on your engine stand arm.

I used some old head bolts an some old half inch drive china sockets. guess they are good for something!

Thanks for the help. I got some grade 5 bolts...are these strong enough? Thanks.

More than strong enough.

Some 7/16" nuts, threaded rod and a hacksaw can do a fine job to make some custom fasteners.
