Default Mounting VQ35DE on Engine Stand Bolt Size...

Sorry for the bit of a lame thread, but I couldn't find anything in my search.

Before I go about pulling my engine and realizing that the OEM bellhousing bolts aren't long enough, what bolt sizes (diameter x pitch x length) are best to mount a VQ35DE on a engine stand on the bellhousing side?

Thanks!

I know, but the engine isn't out yet and isn't coming out until late night so I won't be able to do that. Was hoping to get hardware prior so I can kill two birds...

This is a bit on the lame side. It also depends on what the mounting stud length is on the engine stand you have. My suggestion? If it's just a cheap stand, just modify the length of the mounting stud to fit an OEM tranny bolt. That way you know you've got the right thread pitch to fit. Too long? Throw some washers on...
