Stupid bolt size question...
After an extended timeout, I'm finally ready to drop my engine and trans back in. Naturally a few miscellaneous bits have vanished in the meantime. Nothing major (knock wood), but I can't find the trans to block bolts, and I'd rather be sure on the size.
Anyone know the length of the six bolts? 425, TH400. TIA.

Can I jump in on this thread ? Same topic - different bolts. I have a 1965 F-85 wagon that someone put a chev 305 in with welded mounts. All of that is now removed and I'm installing an Olds 350. I have the frame pads - what size bolts do I need ?

I’m guessing the people asking these questions are under 30 years old, long before the days when all you needed to work on these cars is a 7/16”, 1/2”, 9/16”, and 5/8” wrenches and sockets. That would cover probably 90% of the hardware on old iron! 😎.
To answef your question, once again 3/8x16 thread, probably 1 to 1 1/4 long.

You forgot the phillips screwdriver :-) Thank you for the reply. Frame pads are in and its looking like an Oldsmobile again. Sorry for hijacking the thread. I simply couldn't think of a better subject line to ask my question. Oh ya. 1" is the perfect length.
