You'll be using the power steering/AC mounting studs on the front iron to attach the engine to a stand. They are M12 x 1.5, as I recall.

There is a master list of thread pitches in the Archives. It contains the size for virtually every nut and bolt used on the car.

If you are intending to rebuild the engine with the stand bolted in that manner, then rethink that plan. You need to bolt to the front iron.

As for the transmission mounting flange, I think they are all M10 x 1.5. Check with the archived topic to be sure.
