Default Engine stand ?

How are you guys bolting your engines on the engine stands? i just picked up a LQ9 and it's sitting in the shed on a tractor trailer tire until I can figure this out...hopefully y'all can help me out so that i can start on this tomorrow. Thanks.

Bolts are metric 10mm by 1.5 thread pitch. Measure how long you need to go through the stand arms and add a 1/2-3/4 inch to the bolt length for block threads. Go to the hardware store and pick up some bolts.

Dude, thanks. That really helped. It's my first time using one.
