What bolts for engine stand

Just curious what bolts people have been using to put their LSx blocks on engine stands. The bellhousing bolts arent long enough to go through the engine stand arms to the block.

It's an M10 1.5 pitch so just measure the length of your stand arms and add maybe 40-50mm to the length.

Yes, it depends on your engine stand. I used a bolt for the AC compressor bracket, two bolts I bought, and another I had.

Ya, I noticed the AC ones fit, but I didnt wanna risk bending or damaging those and having to get new ones for that, so Id rather get disposable ones for mounting the block. Nice pic
