Attaching a 496 to an engine stand

Anybody happen to know the bolt size for attaching a 496 to an engine stand?

I haven't pulled the engines yet, so I'm looking for a sanity check.  I think the right answer is:

Zinc plated class 10.9 steel, 10mm x 1.5mm, length 90 mm

I assume I'll use the bolt holes for the flywheel cover, which are M10 30 mm long.  The stand brackets are 60 mm deep, so I'd need 90 mm long.  I'm assuming it's a coarse thread, so 1.5mm pitch.

    Don't know but the parts diagram says the bolts for the flywheel housing are M10.

    Why are you pulling the engines? Too bad everyone is so far from me I would love to get my hands dirty on pulling outdrives and engines. Never have done any of this all my work is on land vehicles.

    Project time.  I'm replacing the transom assemblies over the off-season.  Gonna do some cleanup while the engines are out.  You're certainly welcome to join me!

    Oh yeah I forgot you were doing the transom assemblies. I'll start researching for wrinkles in the space time continuum and see if I can make us a little closer. Although maybe you already know 🤔. 👽🛸

    How does an American handle having to use a tool without a / or “ in it ?  :D
