I suppose that depends on how thick the engine stand supports are.
I have a box of generic hardened exhaust flange / accessory bolts that I use for mine.
I also keep a set of 3 1/2" bolts to thread in as "handles" to lift motors in and out of
the van when I need to transport them.

Make sure you purchase stainless or hardened bolts, not the cheapo 15cent home depot aluminum/zinc/tin/whatever crap specials. Those WILL bend.

The thread size is 3/8-16. Length depends on your stand. Measure it.

You'd want a min of 1" threaded into the block. Get grade 8 bolts.
