Quick, Easy Bolt question

[ViperMan]

Hey guys,

This one should be simple!

I just need to know the size of the bolts that hold the transmission into the back of a 440 block - I need bolts for my (new) engine stand, and I want to buy them ahead of time.

Thanks!

3/8 16 coarse thread makes ure you are into the block at least 1/2 "
 the lower corners are 7/16 & are not threaded so you need to use nuts on the other side

I knew you'd be the first to respond.  Your day job must be as fun as mine is.

Did you get Grade 8 bolts for strength?

[ViperMan]

Yes sir - though I was told I should actually go with grade five because at least they'll stretch - grade 8's will just snap.  But I got 8's anyways. 

Besides, the bolts that hold the engine stand together are only 5's...

*shrug*
