Long story short I need to know what size the bolts are so I can put my spare motor on a engine stand. I have never put a motor on a stand so sorry for the noobish question.

maybe get them from the dealership? sure they will overcharge but at least they will be correct.

Well after doing some research I found this " M12x1.75, 90mm long for the top bolts. Bottom bolts look like m10, and are a lot longer"

Just incase any one was wondering from here on out.

Sorry I didn't catch this until tonight. The tranny-to-engine bolts vary from engine application- I assume you're looking at a VQ30DE FWD application for your engine stand. If you've never used one before, you may have to modify your engine stand to make it work. The flanges on the cradle itself were too long, so I shortened them to fit. If you're putting a fully dressed shortblock onto the stand, try using a cherry picker to help locate the cradle before you throw you back out.

Im using the motor out of my 04 G35, I'm going to be using a cherry picker since its a long block. If the bolts I got from the maxima fourm don't work ill put up the bolts that work with my stand.

So what I posted earlier is a lie sorta, the bolt size is M12x1.75 in all the holes that have threads. With my stand I could probably use 60-70mm bolts but i got 100mm and its about 1 inch to long.
