C-10 402

I just built an engine stand and see the bolt sleeves used to mount the block to the stand are 3/4" ID. Meanwhile the block uses 3/8" bolts, leaving a lot of play in those sleeves. Is this a problem in your mind? Any ideas?

Either way I'll use grade 8 bolts. For what it's worth, the bolt holes in the block are 1" deep.

Thanks
