I believe they are M10x1.5 bolts, if that helps!

M10x1.5... length depends on your engine stand! No, do not try using the timing cover bolts lol they'll snap before you even put the entire weight of the motor on them.
EDIT: also use washers where the engine stand mounts up to you motor... you don't want to damage the soft aluminum.

I just used stainless steel... I believe they were grade 10.9 or something like that. They held up just fine, they even held my iron block lq4

lol not to sound like THAT guy, but did you ask anyone at Lowes? I'm sure if one Lowes has them then the rest should. Or at least free shipping from store to store...I have my LS2 block on my stand now and when I do the swap my LS1 is going to be otherwise I'd offer mine up

I bought some at my local ace hardware, Lowes usually has a nice selection of hardware but last time I was there their inventory looked like ****. Homedepot is terrible for hardware IMO.
If you are willing to wait on shipping order from mcmastercarr.com (i have some from here too) for your bolts. Select pitch size, grade, length and for about the same cost ace hardware would charge you can get 10 bolts or so on mcmaster, always nice to have extra.

I know old thread but I purchased metric 10.9 grade M10 X 1.5 by 90mm to fit my stand. The issue is the bolts start to thread then feel like they get in a bind. Am I just being a scaredy-cat or is there something special I need to do? I don’t want to mess up the aluminum block threads. Any help appreciated

Kent farm supply in Blenheim Ontario Canada
they gave every fastener known to man in zinc or stainless
I spend hours in that store every time I go there
Maybe something like that in your area

ICT billet says an engine stand plate that is amazing.
Using a cheap traditional engine stand, use the front accessory bolts.
They are all the same size as the ones that hold the engine and trans together but are much longer.

Problem with all that stuff, maybe not for auto guys. Is almost no stands or such plates allow an engine to be bolted up with the clutch still in place. very annoying if doing work where you simply dont need to remove it.
the ICT plates do look nice, but also seem to block access to the rear of the engine ?
I bought a new stand recently, just conventional style, and even with it I ended up grinding out a section to allow me to install cam bearings whilst on the stand.
