Tranny bolt size?

Got my new engine, picked my new 700r4 today, but don't have the bolts to affix tranny to engine. Anybody know the proper size & qty needed? Assume I need grade 8?

There are (6) bolts, 3/8-16x1 1/4. I believe that they are grade 5.

grade 5 is best for most aplications on a street vehicle.
Grade 8 can clamp harder, but it can'r handle the sheer loads....side to side loads. They will shatter way before a grade 5 will. So there is no point in blowing the cash for the grade 8 hdwr.
