What Bolt Size to Mount 304 to Stand???

[poppatello]

Anyone know what size bolts and where to place them to mount it to an engine stand? First timer here...

7/16 x 14
3/8 x 16

The length will depend on your stand.

Yep... G5 spec on the bolts I posted... The washer / nut spacer system I used to space out the bolt length - YUK!

It can be a bear finding 7/16 14 bolts. The Home Depot and Lowes where I live do not carry any 7/16 bolts.

Luckily, the little ACE hardware does.

Just something to keep in mind.

to Ace - that is where I get my 7/16 x 14's from... My Tractor Supply has them some times also...

Where's the "Lowes and Home Depot Suck" thread.

Such a huge store, employees never know anything.

Ace is 1/10th the size, has everything you need, and the employees are always right on top of it!

Sorry Poppa.

Looking forward to you digging into your new engine.

Your right, I spent two hours looking @ one store then the other. Ended up going to a local hardware store and got the grade 8 bolts. I felt better with them. I will be starting my engine completion thread just as soon as I get my parts to start on it...
