Engine ground bolt dimensions

I need to know the bolt dimensions for adding the additional ground from the drivers side frame rail to engine block. Calling Too Many Toys...

We've talked about it before I just didn't remember what thread. I believe the threaded hole nearest the crank pulley.

We went through a debate about this years back, every bolt on the Powerstroke is metric, theres no "lets sneak one in for SAE". But I'm in the perfect state of frontal nudity right now, so ......



All frontal bolts on the head and rocker box are 10x1.5mm.







The lower position, just above the stator standoff, where Ford was supposed to put the drivers battery ground like the 7.3L, is a 12x1.75mm.

That's the one Jack. Thanks. It doesn't need to be 109mm long for any reason? I assume 25mm will suffice?

Yeah, you can go shorter. 20mm .... 100mm and a stack of washers, what ever works.
