Default Engine mount bolts

What are the size for the engine mount bolts that are used through the motor mounts? I dont have any idea, since mine were not with my LS1.

And does anyone have a pic of proper mount oreintation.
Thanks

The heads of the bolts that go through the clampshell into the engine are 13mm. The throughbolt is 18mm. I'm not sure what you mean about proper mount orientation. It's pretty easy to figure out once you have some mounts. Just remember that the little metal tabs that extend out from the mounts themselves go on top, not on the bottom.

Thanks man.
I am working on finding some throughbolts for the calmshell.
I am just trying to figure out how many inches dont have threads and how much thread is on the end. Such as X" bolt with X" thread length.

As for the tabs, that is what I was wondering. Thanks for that info!

My guess is that 7/16" stud size is too big. You will have a hell of a time trying to get those through.

I think they're more in the neighborhood of 3/8", maybe even 5/16".
