Hi Guys,

I am going to be putting a LS engine on a engine stand but what bolts do I use?

What size and grade?

Thanks,

Bill

Either no one has never put a LS engine on a engine stand before or this is the wrong section to get answers???

I have some bolts in my toolbox ill measure up for you tomorrow evening. I think they are 10mmx1.5 but not positive. I am pretty sure though.

M10X1.5

i got them about 3 inches long and stacked up washers to make up the difference. i didnt feel like buying 3 different lengths of 4 bolts, so i just bought them long and found some washers in the tool box.

You use the size/type of the bellhousing bolts. I measured a bellhousing bolt length, then measured the round collar length on the mounting points of the engine stand, added the 2 measurements together, then went and bought bolts as close to that length as possible from Home Depot. Get the best grade they have available.
