Why not stop by the hardware store and grab a few different standard and metric sizes and see which ones fit?

If memory serves, you'll need 3/8"-16 up top and 1/2-20 down bottom. I'm sure about the nominal sizes, but the lower bolts could be 13tpi or 20.

Just take your bellhousing bolts and check them. I AM sure about the uppers tho - I've replaced enough of them to get rid of the need for the E12 socket...

I think the lowers are 7/16".

I got some all-thread rod in the correct sizes to attach my engine to the stand.

Gah - I just remembered that my lower bolts are 1/2"-20 only because I drilled and tapped for 1/2" studs (I couldn't find 7/16" while I had everything torn down...)

Yeah - the lowers are 7/16" coarse, IIRC.
