Bolt Size?????

Does anyone know what size bolts I need to mount my spare 7.3 to the engine stand???? Bought time to get started on a winter project.

thanks

Couldn't tell you size right off hand. Pull one out of the bell housing and that will be that. It mit have to be longer to work on your stand.

Yeah I know its just that it is laying in the floor in another building right now with no bell housing and thought someone might know right off hand.
Also thinking about getting that t 500 before they jump another $100 on us. Just wondering how I tell for sure what year this spare motor is. Going to pull the HPOP of it and preship it.

thanks again
Joe

12mm x 1.75 pitch (at least this is what I've consistently found while searching)

11 mm is about the same as a 7/16 and that's too small, too.

We used the bolts from the transmission bellhousing on the engine stand at work. Don't know what to tell you? They can't be that special.

Alright I went out back found a bolt that would fit. Of course I can not find my calipers but used a 12mm wrench just to gauge the size and I do believe it to be 12mm now just to take the short bolt in and find some long ones with the same thread pitch. Pitch has to be 1.75 possibly 2.0 but not real likely. will let you know for sure when I find out.
thanks again to all. At least I did not have to crawl under the truck and take one out.
