Re: IML: Mounting 440 on engine stand

[Brad Hogg <roadhogg@xxxxxxx>]

When I got my stand and bought those bolts, I bought higher grade bolts just
as a margin of safety.  Most bolts you get just off the shelf are grade 2
and strip or break easily.  I went with grade 5 or better IIRC.  There's not
many engines heavier than a 440.

Subject: IML: Mounting 440 on engine stand



Hi, folks --

I ventured one step further into knucklebusting by purchasing an engine
stand in anticipation of building the 440 for my engineless project car.
It's the kind with four adjustable plates with bolt holes running through
them.  Since I have no engine, I also have no bolts with which to mount the
block to the stand.  I'm starting with a bare block, so it doesn't come
with any.  Can someone please give me the specs or part number for those
bolts so I can pick up a set?  It's a '65 casting stock block.

Also, will I need to pick up a flex plate or can I run the bolts directly
to the block?  If so, can it be any old flex plate or does it have to be
the one I'll have on there permanently?

Thanks,

David
