Default Those with C5R 427s...simple question for you

the motor came with main caps and rod and main cap bolts. (i can't remember if it came with the nuts for the windage tray or not). Its all built and ready to go in but I can't find any nuts to go on hold the windage tray on. I belive they are metric but the only thread pitch gauge that matchs is a standart 24 per inch. Anyone run into this problem before? I have been to every hardware store and can't find anything that will fit. Its pissing me off b/c this is the only thing stopping me from getting it running.


To make it short...Did anyone else's block include these with it? If not....do you know the exact size/thread pitch.

Thanks

3/8-24 on the tray nuts.
7/16-20 on the main nuts and the head nuts.
