Title: Engine Stand Bolts
Post by: SuperDuty on March 05, 2010, 09:32:57 AM

I was wondering, without buying 10 different size bolts, if anyone knew what size thread and pitch bolts I needed to mount my BBC onto the engine stand? How bout a length too. Figured you guys have done it enough to know it by heart! Thanks!

Measure the mounting plate, add at least 1" and space with washers.

I have two stands currently, one is 2 1/4 thick and the other is almost 3" thick
