Re: How to mount a LS1 to a engine stand? umm almost any bolts will work.
Grade 8 bolts dont have a higher shear strength so they arent really neccesary... grade 5 or any normal bolt will be fine.

Re: How to mount a LS1 to a engine stand? They are metric...I believe they are 12mm shank size. Just bring one of your bellhousing bolts into a hardware store/auto parts store and get some with the right thread size but long enough to reach through the engine stand. You should pick up some washers also...for both sides...the engine stand will leave small gouges on aluminum blocks.
