Default Bellhousing Bolts

Hi,
My brother bought a one of those 360 degree engine stands for his 1975 350cid small block. It has four fingers to attach where the bellhousing bolts go. What thread count and size bolt would I need to
connect the fingers to bellhousing bolt holes?

Thanks,
Ethan

3/8-16 NC,mine are 2.5 inches long,your length maybe different,just buy a few various lengths and a handful of washers,you'll never run out of uses for 3/8 bolts on these cars.

I used Grade 8 bolts and washers as well. Believe I bought 3" and then used washers to shim out. The hole near the oil filter is not as deep as the others.
