LT1 engine stand bolts
What's the bolt size/thread needed to support a LT1 on an engine stand? I realize the length depends on my stand. I'm trying to have the bolts ready before I get the engine out.

3/8 is the diameter of the bolt, not metric
-16 is threads per inch

He trying to determine for your safety if these bolts are grade 5, grade 8 or not graded at all in which case you would not want to use them.
