Default Catch Can Install (bolt size for head)

Does anyone know the bolt size (size, length and pitch count) I need to install a catch can on the LS3 head? If you happen to know the adapter length that slides over the bolt, that would be great also.

I purchased a can that did not come with it. Thanks.

I bought a 10mm bolt at the local auto supply store for the same reason as you. I think it is about 3/4" long. The place I went was Car Quest and had a whole rack of automotive-type fasteners with a rust resistant coating and the right looking head.
