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.

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

Being 'full thread' with no shoulders I'd have to question the buy. How about a snapshot of the head of the bolt. Is there any specified spec in the purchase description for them?
