Default Bolt size for starter support on small block

I have some time on my hands this weekend because (once again) I'm waiting for parts I didn't think I needed.

Does anyone know the bolt size for the starter support to the block? The hole in the block is painted over and not in a very convenient spot. It'll clean up with a thread chaser, but knowing the size ahead of time will greatly speed up that process.

The size of the nut on the starter will help too, but that one I can figure out.
