Howdy,

Im getting ready to put my rebuilt short block togather for my ret swap. I got this engine basically in pieces and dont have any of the bolts. Does anyone know the size of bolt i need to get it on my engine stand. The info would really help me out. Thx

 

umm...it just mounts on the tranny side. Just take the bolts that mount the tranny to the block and use those.

edit: if they're not long enough, you can go to a hardware store and find longer bolts. If you can't figure out the thread pitch just find a nut that screws on to it and find matching bolts. You also might need some big washers if the engine stand's bolt holes are too big.

 

12x1.25m

 

Thank you MSR, thats exactly what i was looking for

 

I used the 2 long ones from the tranny and borrowed 2 more from the frame by the front axel.

 

Yea i didnt have any bolts to pick through. I got a block to rebuild while the original motor is still being used.

 

thats it, and depending on your stand, 3-4" length is what you'll need. They're not cheap tho =( 4 bolts with washers cost me 11 bucks

 

Buy a pack or two from www.mcmastercarr.com

 

Yea i needed 2.5" and they were $3.25 a pop. The price stunned me but had to fork the cash. Argh ace there so spendy. There the only place around here that actually has every nut an bolt i could ever need.
