Engine block thread size for engine stand mounting?

Sorry about this but I'm away from the car at present and need to buy some longer bolts so as to mount my ej20 block on my engine stand. So what size thread do I need?

Cheers,

Wayne.

So where can I get bolts of this thread that are about 3 inch long so as to go through my engine stand and into the block. My local nut and bolt supplier cant get them.

I use a length of all thread and cut it to size.

Don't forget you will need nut's too.

I used the 2 bolts from the top of the engine that hold the gear box and engine together. And for the bottom 2 i left the studs in and used the nuts off them. My stand is a clark stand. Hope this helps
