Hi all. I want to pull the 5.0 from my '91 LX. In the past, I've used the accessory holes in the front/rear of the heads as chain attaching points, but I don't remember the thread pitch so I can buy some bolts for this purpose. I've searched the forums here to no avail. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

3/8” or 7/16 depending on if the accessory inserts are in.
