Default Engine mounts to block bolt size and thread pitch.

Hello I have a question about Engine mount bolts. I am purchasing an engine. I also have purchased a Motofeet engine stand which mounts to the block using two of the five holes in the block to attach. I need to bring bolts that are about one inch longer than the origin mounting bolts when I pick up the motor. Can someone please tell me the size, thread pitch and length of the original factory bolts. Thanks. [ ATTACH]585868[/ATTACH]

7/16 shank, X14 thread pitch. I believe the OEM bolts are 3/4 inch long.

The length is from memory, as I don't have any OEM bolts handy.

Thanks, my engine is still in the car therefore I don’t have easy access to my bolts.

Figure on the bolt holes in the block being 1/2” deep, then you need to add to that the thickness of that engine stand the bolts will pass thru.
Once you have that number I would add 1/4” of length to the bolts you buy and then also buy a fist full of 7/16” washers in case you need them, especially if you can only get bolts that are overly long for what you think you need!
