Ok guys, this is my first engine stand and the first i ever used. I know you are supposed to mount the stand to the tranny side but exactly where and with what bolts. I used the tranny bolts and they are too short and i just stripped about 2mm of thread off the block. Should i cut the pegs on the stand to allow the tranny bolts to have more grip.

 

Tranny bolts are pretty long. I can't imagine them not reaching. But if you say so go to the hardware store and get some longer ones.

 

never mind

 

I am using tranny bolts right now.
Some are longer then others, are you using the longest ones?

 

yeah im using the longest ones, but the pegs on the stand are long. Engine mount bolts are working for me.

 

Customization, man. Cut the engine stand down some, or buy longer bolts... Personally, I'd suggest the cutting down option. It's free.

 

if I go to the store and buy some bolts, anyone have the size/thread ?

I got to use head bolts for a Datsun U20 motor for mine. Now thats kinkin it old school.

 

buy new bolts... that way you will still have some clearance between the stand and the side of the block..
