Default Engine stand - how did you do it?

I'd like to know how you guys mounted your engine on the engine stand.
If you could provide bolt sizes/pitches, would be even better.

Thanks,
~Alan

...no wait....one more...

Why didn't I think of the tranny bolts?
LOL!

I'm not too familiar with the design of engine stands, but how do you get the arms to line up with the holes in the bell-housing?

Thanks,
~Alan

On most stands I have used, they bolt right up, but you may need to trim the actual sleeves the bolts go through on the stand. We trim them down to get more threads into the block.
