Default What size bolt for the ground strap on front of motor?

I cant find the original. I'm talking about the one that bolts the strap to the block, just behind the alt. Also, I need to know the size bolt that holds the alt on, the one right there nearest where the strap bolts to the block.

Doing an engine swap, and it's been 5 months, a few things are not where they should be. Thanks.

I feel your pain, I have a bucket of bolts, it's gonna be fun.

A lot of that stuff is 10 and 15 mm.

Most bolts are 8mm x 1.25 or 10mm x 1.25

I bagged up most of them in ziploc bags, & labeled. But a few slipped from my grasp. I'll just go & get a handful of extras, and go at it from there.

The ground must be a 10, because the hole is small. The alt is a 15, but notthing I had was long enough. I'm still waiting on the tranny, so no huge rush. Thanks.

It ended up being a 10 for the ground strap, and a 15 for the alt.
