not sure on the length off the top of my head but they will be a 10mm x 1.50 thread pitch bolt

2001ws6-500hp

they are a 13 mm bolt but the threads are the same as a 9/16 s bolt, i pulled my motor last week and when i put it on the engine stand i used the same exact bolts as u use for my old small blocks, screwed them in with my fingers, so i know they fit

10mm-1.5 x 35

A 3/8-16 bolt will thread in (loosely) but as the OP found out, they WILL STRIP when any kind of torque load is applied!

What are the bolt torque settings of the transmission (T56) to the engine block?
I found the BTS of the clutch housing to transmission to be 26lb.ft. but not transmission to engine. Are they the same torque?

Thanks,
