6.0 Bolts

I just bought an 04 6.o and I'm wanting to bolt it to the engine stand. Can someone tell me what size bolts to use. I know their metric but that is about all I know.
thanks Ian

10mm... and if your engine stand is like mine you'll need some long ones to go through the mount...at least 100mm long.

Re: 6.0 Bolts

in a pinch if the big accessory drive bracket is there...pull it off and use those bolts.
