I'm looking for the size/thread of a few external bolt holes on my 455. I need the accessory bolts holes on the heads and the 2 bolt holes on the drivers side of the block?

 

Really?

OK

3/8-16 NC accessory brackets

7/16-14 NC motor mt holes

anything else?

 

Thanks for your reply and perfect use of sarcasm. I asked because I don't have any resource material in front of me and I was trying to pick up hardware on my way home. Also I wasn't referring to the motor mount holes, I should have been more clear. I was referring to the holes closest to the front of the motor. I'll assume they are the same or check myself. It's funny how some people here can just be helpful and some, usually the "know it all's" answer in a condescending tone. This is why so many people I know don't come back to CO

 

Oh, that, sir, was so NOT sarcasm.
It would have been so much better!

I have done so much of that for so long that at 1st it was hard to believe that others don't have that memorized, but then I realized that experiences vary, and so I offered up the info I thought you needed. And will gladly supply more as needed.

Just actual help, not a sarcastic comment.

Nowhere did you make clear that you were at the store and needed info NOW. Some of us do not have "smart phones" and are not on the interwebs everywhere at all times.

If you bothered to phone me you would be aware that what you perceived as sarcasm or condescension was actually not.

I guess that would be easier if my ph # [517..449.O43 two] were in the post. But, again, urgency was not evident. I have in memory most of the bolts' sizes, and an Excel sheet listing sizes, and even GM PN's when known, of most of the engine related fasteners. Takes time to dig out that sort of info of course.

Oh, and you know, those of you who think you know it all are REALLY annoying to those of us who do...

and, in case that sarcasm is lost on some...
That's a joke, son. And NOT necessarily aimed at just my fellow Chris, the original poster.

 

I guess in my eyes the "Really" indicates sarcasm, such as "are you Really asking this?" or "really, you don't know the answer?" You are correct I don't have this memorized and may not have touched this as many times as someone like yourself. I just figured there would be someone on CO that knows this like the back of their hand and could readily answer.
I know we all have responsibilities and are not sitting around waiting to answer questions on forums. I was not expecting an immediate response nor do I think I indicated it was an emergency because clearly it was not. I was only hoping someone would respond before I left work for the day, so I wouldn't have to go home look up the info and then go back outside.
Once again thanks for your reply and I apologize for misinterpreting your tone.

 

I usually consider sarcasm to mean saying the opposite of what you literally mean to make a hostile point, eg: "Oh great, Dear! You know how much I love it when your mother comes to visit!"

There was no opposite meaning here.

He said "Really?"

I would call that SNARKasm.

It is an art form.

(by the way, if you'd said, "I'm headed to the hardware store after work," there would have been none of either.)

 

LMAO
"snarkasm"
my new favorite word.

Just trying to help, Chris, really.
Don't hesitate to txt or phone if you need a quick consult like that.
In retrospect, sure, I could have just left out the "really? OK..." part.
