LS1Engine mount Bolts??

What did you guys use for the engine mount bolts? I cant use my 305 bolts cause there just short I dont have the LS1 engine mount bolts, so i have to ask, what did you guys use and where could i get it at? Not what holds the mount into place the engine to the mounts?

Also too, how did you guys get the Engine mounts Bolts thight with no room due to that the A-arm is in the way? thanks guys. going to try to put the motor in tomorrow

You will need to get ahold of the LS1 motor mount bolts thats what i used. I misplaced one of the nuts on and just ran to the hardware store and got another, so there may be a chance you can pick up some bolts at the store. also i didnt really have any issues with reaching the bolts. remove the exhaust manifolds, and you should be good

the dealer will be able to get them for you. I've gotten a bunch of bolts that i needed from them. They are expensive, but atleast i know i'm using the correct stuff.
