Bolt size for 460 mounts

Can anyone provide me with the bolt size for the motor mounts on a 460? I imagine all the years are the same, but mine is a 460 out of a 79 lincoln.

This seems to be a question no one can answer.

I did find out that the bolts are 7/16 with a thread count of 14.
No one knows the length though. I went ahead and bought 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch grade 8 bolts. Hopefully one of them will be the right size.

Sorry, I got busy and forgot to come back to this post. They are indeed 7/16" thread (coarse) and 1" long.
