Engine Mount Bolt Question
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to look. I need a little help. It's fairly straight-forward, just cant seem to find the info I need.
I am dropping a 350 back into my engine bay. I pulled the old engine mounts out to replace them, and along the way seemed to have "misplaced" them.
Does anybody happen to know what size bolts and other hardware i need? I am in need of the fasteners that hold the mounts to the frame, and the ones to hold the engine to the mounts.

Re: Engine Mount Bolt Question
Mounts to frame = 3/8-16 x 1" + flanged nuts; mounts to block = 3/8"-16 x ¾"

Re: Engine Mount Bolt Question
Should be a 5/8" bolt but is also a special bolt. Although you could use a generic bolt, you should get the proper bolts for that.

Re: Engine Mount Bolt Question
Hi Guys, greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 . Im in the current situation of needing to replace all of my engine mounts in place. I saw Eric the car guy on YouTube using a long handled swivel head ratchet ring spanner to get up to the nuts inside the crossmember. This looks like a great option to me! Can anyone tell me what size ring spanner I need for this job please?

Put a piece of electrical tape over the nuts before inserting them into the socket. That way, they won't get dropped down into the k-member...

Re: Engine Mount Bolt Question
Thanks for that
I have already completed the drivers side & just about done the passengers side. I did need a skinny extension for the passengers side though.
cheers for the help
