Harbor Freight engine stand

[Sniper]

Someone want to know what size bolts were needed to bolt a flat head to an HF engine stand.  The stand I have, which is an HF one, will only fit the flat head in one configuration.

 

Top two bolts are the 5/16 ones and screw into the block.  The bottom two bolts pass thru an existing hole on each side and are held with a nut.  You will need washers under the heads of the bolts to keep them from passing thru the holes on the engine stand arms.

I think the upper threaded block bolts are 3/8" X 16?

well at least something from HF works..Actually HF is a good source of stuff you dont have to use every day. I have one of their 110 wire feed migs and its just fine for light duty stuff. Is that your rebuild Sniper? Take us along for the ride

Thanks a bunch..almost had the transmission off, at least got the bolts loose. Maybe tomorrow.. then I'll order the bolts.

I have an old 4-wheel HF engine stand and the flathead six drooped when I mounted it to the stand.   I supported the front of the engine with wood as a precaution.  Maybe the latest version is sturdier.
