7/16"-14 I believe. Same as head bolts. I use old arp ehad bolts and a bunch of washer to take up the slack b/c they're too long.

Ah, good idea.... time to do some measuring. I don't plan to remove the heads, so I'll need those head bolts Grn92LX right where they are.

I just got the bolts to mount my old block, and they are 7/16 NC. Length depends on the stand, but iirc mine are 2 1/2"
