D.Hearne said:I would avoid using the grade 5 bolts that Home Depot stocks, you'd be much safer with a good set of grade 8 or 9 bolts for this purpose. Your motor and your feet are worth more than the dubious strength of a grade 5 bolt.
For a small block I used the shorter of the head bolts, they fit perfectly on my motor/stand. Of course not all stands have the exact same mouting flanges so YMMV.D.Hearne said:I never thought of using the main bolts, that's a good idea. I've got a couple dozen extras, I'll try them.

The problem with the PDH'd (Pixie dust holders) is you have to keep thinking happy thoughts. Usualy this isnt a problem when daydreaming about your how your refreshed engine is going to run, but smash you finger and let out a good f-bomb and its likey to fall on your foot and make things worse.
